On a street where you live


Oakworth is famous for its little station on the Keighley Worth Valley Railway line which featured in the Railway Children film. Throughout the Summer months, we are serenaded with toots and whistles from the steam trains and occasionally a long wait at the old-fashioned gated crossing.  Its a lovely nostalgic little building full of quirky fixtures and fittings.

Here my station house is stitched on evenweave linen and mounted on a background of painted fabric and Bondaweb applique.

The square will form part of a border for Skipton Embroiderers' Guild Where's My Home community project which will be displayed for the first time at Yarndale.
