Dear Saima, I enjoyed watching your tutorial in Stitch Club and have printed and carefully filled away the instructions. I hope to start on this style of embroidery once I retire.
I have enjoyed this article and will look at the podcast and instagram pages you refer to.

In reply to Trisha. Thank you for sharing your insights Trisha. I was so pleased to be approached by Textile Artist.org and ensured that I included Phulkaris in this workshop because I know that heritage textiles can connect and enrich everyone. Seeing members' work has been delightful and touching as the traditional form has been translated and made new, personal and contemporary by people from many backgrounds. I'm sure Textile Artist will continue to offer their members a rich range of artistically and culturally engaging workshops. Best regards, Saima

Reading this article about Saima Kaur’s work and also doing her workshop in Stitch Club has made me realize that although we live in a multi cultural society, we don’t know enough about the wealth of textile styles from those different backgrounds. We are all enriched by this wonderful diversity of talent and should make more of it – thank you textileartist.org for bringing this to my attention and thank you Saima for such wonderful, colourful work, a real antidote to the sometimes drab fashion for faded and vintage looking that seems to dominate of late in the UK

With a long held interest in the patterns of Indian architecture and the beauty of the block prints and embroidered fabric, I am so happy to find your workshop here on Textileartist.org. Your sharing of your love of phulkaris and the simple honesty of your designs to express your life experiences and passion for color is a lovely gift. Thank you.Tess
