Living on a Prayer

Hello – I’m Rachel. Welcome to my site!

I grew up in the West Country and spent my childhood creating either music, textile art or mayhem, depending on who you ask. My darling mum, herself an amazing creative person, taught me to knit, crochet, hand-stitch and use a sewing machine. In return, when I left home for college, I introduced her to cross stitch. You can see her wonderful samplers on my Cross Stitch page

At Trinity College of Music, in London, I completed Graduate and Masters level diplomas in music, then completed a PGCE at University.
