Embroidery – Jul/Aug 2025
Summer is finally here and with our July/August cover showing @rachelsetford Rachel Wright’s swallows joyfully darting across a bright blue sky, we’re in a celebratory mood.
It’s a packed issue, with everything from a look at 150 years of Liberty through its fabrics from author @kassiastclair, to how @emilyjogibbsis honouring the makers of Trinity Buoy Wharf, and from the return of the @stitchbystitch_2025 exhibition to a behind-the-scenes look at the eagerly-anticipated @thefestivalofquilts.
We feature work by a diverse group of artists, including @hannahlambtextileartist, @janina.bacchetta, Dr Aimee Rondel, @aranillingworth, @vivienne.beaumont, @katetarlingtextiles, @cathyjackcoupland and @annekellytextiles
We are proud to be the magazine of choice for people with an interest in creative, innovative stitched work and textiles including students, textile artists, gallery owners and curators.
