Sep/Oct 2025


Embroidery Magazine Sep/Oct 2025 issue is out now!

A note from the Editor.

Embroidery magazine’s autumn issue is packed full of inspiring artists, events and exhibitions. The season brings the feeling of a fresh start and we have plenty to motivate you as we look at one of the key highlights in the textile art calendar, the @‌knitandstitchshows, picking up on the work of Chilean artist Carmen Mardonez @‌desbordado and stalwart of the stitch scene, @‌lynnsetterington.

We take a look at sustainable stories too, including an artist who has recycled waste to create a spectacular and fearsome creature for Fortnum & Mason’s @‌fortnums autumn window display; plus we look beyond The Nettle Dress film, two years on.

Artists featured include the hugely talented @‌katyrundle, our cover star; Liz Padgham-Major @‌lizpadghammajor, who uses vibrant colour on wearable art; art under the microscope from Laura Sanchez @‌laurasanchezfilomeno; pieces that convey the spirit of place from Adam Halls @‌adamhallsart; plus @‌jonathan_baldock and his zoo of hybrid animals.

We also look inside the Sewing Room of @‌celiapym, discover this year’s talented @‌royalneedlework graduates and look forward to the British Textile Biennial.

There’s so much more, with everything from community stories to historic works, and book and exhibition reviews – it’s too good to miss!
