to my stitchy playground...
my name is Emma, and I spend my days playing with fabric, thread and stitch! Living here in the beautiful countryside of Cumbria, in the northwest of England gives me much inspiration, whether hedgerow and hill, the sea...or just life! I am passionate about textile art in all its many and varied forms, and I am delighted if what I share inspires you to explore your own joy in creating!
What if simply allowing yourself a little time to draw, paint, stitch or make is a simple way to create some balance and wellbeing in your life?
I have found that being creative has brought me both pleasure and relaxation. Whether you live in the countryside or city there is always something to inspire creativity, just by keeping your eyes open you can see textures, lines, colours and shapes to get your ideas flowing. All you need to do is allow yourself some time, just START, then the magic can take you on a journey of exploring, PLAY and learn to listen to your own inner artist!
come and create with me relax explore play learn discover try something new go wild! surprise yourself make time and space for you
Stitch and Create
is my YouTube Channel where I post weekly free machine embroidery and embellishing tutorials, sketchbook fun and a bit of chat about all things textile and stitchy.
It is such a lovely place to be with kindred spirits, and we are slowly creating a community there.
So why not get yourself a cuppa and a comfy chair, put your feet up for a little 'me' time, and join me to explore making textile art. I'd love to see you there!
I love to connect with others who share my passion for textiles. Please do pop in and visit me on Instagram or Facebook. I am also very happy to talk about my work to groups, in person( if suitable), on zoom or I also have a 'virtual talk' on video for groups. Please contact me for details.
