Jan/Feb 2026
Embroidery Magazine Jan/Feb 2026 issue is out now!
A note from the Editor.
We’re kicking off the year with a must-read preview of 2026, ranging from textile art inspired by outer space to a focus on the miniature.
Our cover story highlights the work of avian specialist Suzy Ager @suzyagertextiles, who presents ethereal art that highlights endangered Red List birds, while the high streets of Wales, former hubs of human life which are now fading, are atmospherically depicted in the mixed media drawings of Haf Weighton @hafweighton.
Ellen Bell @belle16isdrawing discovers cathycullis's world, which draws on the life and times of the Brontes and William Morris @williammorriscollection, and also remembers Torvald Moseid’s 55-metre work, The Dream Ballad, a kind of Norwegian Bayeux Tapestry.
The cute factor comes courtesy of Adriana Torres @soymigadepan from Argentina, while Caroline Davies’ @theinquisitivebee foodie, calorie-free favourites bring cheer, too.
@Tamara_Kostianovsky’s visceral work, which was suspended above visitors’ heads at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition 2025, is highly original, while @Sonia_crivello’s important project is giving a voice to the over-85s through stitched text on handkerchiefs.
We have all your favourites too, including Embroidery loves, news, Out and About, books, reviews and what’s on listings… it’s too good to miss!
