Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn are 'Double Trouble' at the 2009 Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Show

Textile Artists Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn give us an up close and personal look into their booth and demonstration workshops at the 2009 Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Show in Harrogate, England. Their work is developed from common themes found in nature, quite often just a short walk from their house or while on holiday or teaching in Italy. Inspired by nature, moved by landscapes, seascapes, flowers, lace and tapestry, their work reflects a broad spectrum of creative influx which is paralleled by their ability to translate their sketches and drawings into stitched, layered, bonded, felted and embellished surfaces.

Working under the name 'Double Trouble Enterprises', they have published more than twenty (20) books of creative inspiration and have produced four (4) DVDs related to their work. More about Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn can be found at: www.doubletrouble-ent.com
