    Beetles, Butterflies and Insectes in Embroidery

    This bountiful aspect of the natural world offers such scope for variety, colour, shape, and pattern it's hard to overlook it. Vital to the world's ecosystems and sustainable food production, they are also incredibly beautiful and are increasingly used as subjects for embroidery. Join me as I introduce five embroidery artists who work their magic using the insect world as their muse.Show Notes here: https://stitchsafari.com/beetles-butterfl…ts-in-embroidery/

    Embroidered Christmas Treasures

    In this episode, I dip into some Yuletide bliss offering suggestions to make ourselves a Merry Little Christmas or a Winter Wonderland of creativity and love.

    Masters of Our Machines

    The sewing machine becomes an extension of ourselves and a means of describing the world around us. It can produce many marks and qualities to express artistic vision and perceptions, including colour, texture, dimension and pattern—just as a painter works with brushstrokes to create line, shape, and movement, our machines become a design and mark-making tool.Show Notes: https://stitchsafari.com/masters-of-our-machines/
