ESSIE

Heathersedge Crafts is based in Hathersage in the beautiful Hope Valley, Peak District National Park.  The name of the ancient settlement of Hereseige is thought by some to have its roots in the descriptive words  "Heathers Edge" and if you visit the area in the summer or autumn  and see how the land is filled with  such beautiful purple heather you will see why it may have gained that name.

   

I started Heathersedge after a good friend introduced me to the joy of crafting. One simple (and slightly crooked!) running stitch embroidery outline of a pig and a flower and I was hooked for life!  I quickly realised that I enjoyed creating my own designs more than I liked following patterns so I began to try my hand at a wide variety of crafts, some more successfully than others...
