Edrica Huws is a name I have stumbled across in the March/April issue of The Embroidery Magazine. The name is unfamiliar but i found the illustrations wonderful! Through research I have found out that Edrica's work is already well known in France & Japan. I absolutely adore her work! Its the definition of creativity!

Edrica broke the rules; the rules they had been taught of good practice in quilt making. Her stitches were visible and often erratic, she showed no concern for the fabric grain and often used fabrics other than cotton. This practice is something i really like, stitching neat & tidy is dated, the more rough and rugged the stitch, the better in my opinion.
