I'm passionate about embroidery, particularly whitework. My twin sister, Prue, and I were always creative, and when I was in high school I really began to focus on embroidery. Following school I studied graphic design at university, majoring in book design. From there, I brought my two loves together: embroidery and design.
I now write books about embroidery, usually focusing on regional styles of embroidery, and helping to preserve them by teaching others about the historical styles, and how to make them. |  | I have written two stitch dictionaries and a growing number of instructional embroidery books on historical styles. I'm left-handed, and so all of my more recent books include left-handed instructions.
I enjoy teaching embroidery through my online and in-person classes and my YouTube channel, White Threads FlossTube. I particularly love having left-handed students in my classes, as I am well placed to help them!
Putting it simply, I love embroidery and I love sharing it with others! |
