Pam Watts had a life-long passion for machine embroidery. She studied the subject extensively, and taught and lectured all over the UK, including Missenden Abbey in Buckinghamshire where she was a City & Guilds tutor. She made regular trips overseas to teach workshops on various aspects of embroidery, and wrote a number of books on machine embroidery, bead embroidery and embroidered flowers, together with numerous magazine articles. Her hobbies ranged from flying helicopters to gardening. Sadly, Pam died in February 2020 but will always be remembered for her expertise in the field of embroidery and her tireless ability to live life to the full.
