Thanks to everyone who came to say “hi” to me at Woolfest this year. What a day!

Welcome to the quietest launch in the history of book launches!

Are you looking for flowers that will give joy for years rather than days? Look no further!

I needed to create a fibre painting that I could swap with someone on the other side of the world…here's the result!

I tried a new ‘air frame’ idea for needle-felting, but it didn’t work, but maybe our collective brainpower can solve my problem!

Of all the steps in my needle-felted painting process, this is one of my favourites!

The writing and editing stages are finished and the book is off to print this week. How exciting!

A recent commission, Sheep on a Thousand Hills III, brought the rewarding challenge of recreating a previous work in a larger size.

And, finally, here’s ‘Bouquet’, the last pattern now completed for my upcoming book, “Needle-Felting with Sarah Ritchie”.

Have you ever wondered what the back of one of my fibre pantings looks like? Here you go!

We are almost there – the patterns (including ‘Bloom’) have now been completed for my upcoming needle-felting book!

The publishing date for “Needle-Felting with Sarah Ritchie: Fibre Painting Pattern Collection 1” has been moved to April. Stay tuned!

Here’s ‘Purr-fect’ 🐱 the latest pattern completed for my upcoming book, “Needle-Felting with Sarah Ritchie".

We had a blast at my first needle-felted fibre painting workshop for 2025, hosted by Liz Mitchell and Wool Revolution Studio.

It’s amazing what you can achieve in just six hours!

I guess Monty hopes the book is about him.

Have you ever wondered how I create my needle-felted fibre paintings? Then come along to my first Auckland workshop for the year!

If you are in Auckland and keen to learn my style of needle-felted fibre painting, come along to my first workshop for the year, 23 Feb!

We move one step closer to our publishing date!

Here’s the next needle-felted fibre painting for my upcoming book - ‘Merlot’!
