Stitch yourself Happy – Stitching & Pilates

Janet Clare is an artist, textile designer, teacher, author, quilter and all-round creative thinker. She is inspired by words, sayings and lovely phrases that she comes across and also by children and the joy they find in the mundane.

Janet has created a range of quilt and stitchery patterns, written five books and designed eight fabric collections in collaboration with Moda. Her products retail in quilt shops across the UK and in her online ETSY store, as well as featuring on Create and Craft TV, where Janet presents a live show once a month. Her work features frequently in patchwork and quilting publications and as an experienced speaker and teacher, she regularly hosts talks and workshops at quilt shops, guilds and in her own studio focusing on the design process and the creative techniques she uses.

After qualifying with the world renowned Body Control Pilates Association in 2004, Rosalind Hoyes has been teaching Pilates in a vast range of environments worldwide, running her own studio for many years, and latterly teaching in the form of Holidays and Retreats as well as workshops.

Rosalind qualified as an NLP Practitioner in 2010 and, having studied at Bangor University Centre for Mindfulness, has developed an effective teaching technique which, whilst true to Joseph Pilates' Classic Mat series, incorporates her skills as a Mindfulness teacher to align and strengthen both body mind.
