Jan/Feb 2025


Embroidery Magazine Jan/Feb issue is out now!

A note from the Editor.

If you’re wondering what 2025 holds for you, wonder no more. Embroidery magazine’s Jan/Feb issue includes a full rundown of compelling exhibitions and events throughout the year and across the UK.

Our incredible Natural Woman cover star is by @‌fionacowelldesigns. Inside, we catch up with Fiona and the creators of the wealth of brilliant artworks from this year's prestigious @‌handandlock_theprize for Embroidery.

You’ll also be able to meet the Guild Grads who represent the future of our art, along with the recipient of @‌qestcraft Rising Star Craft Award, @‌hannynewton.

We’re excited about previewing Balinese artist @‌citrasasmita_work’s exhibition at the @‌barbicancentre; the touring show Made in the Middle, which highlights crafters from the Midlands; and some of the selection panel’s choices for @‌broderers.exhibition: The Art of Embroidery.

Pictorial extravaganzas come in the form of profiles of Swedish artist and environmentalist @‌brittamarakattlabba, and @‌carolavandyke who delights in the droop of a petal.

With all your favourites too, from a quick rundown of holidays and retreats in Out and About to the Somerset Sewing Room of @‌sianmartin1335, plus Take 5 Books, it’s too good to miss!

We hope you enjoy the first issue of 2025!
