Love Embroidery – April 2023

Get ready to stretch your stitching skills with issue 39 of Love Embroidery. Inside you’ll find Georgie Emery’s beautiful bicycle hoop, which is bursting with colourful blooms and foliage for you to capture in thread, plus our beginner-friendly guide to Woven Picot Stitch where you will make a sweet street party scene festooned with colourful 3D bunting. The design is easily adaptable to mark all kinds of celebrations including royal events, VE Day picnics, millstone birthdays, Pride parties, and any other community events you have in the diary!

Also in this issue, you’ll learn how to add trailing florals to the pocket of your favourite skirt with Portia Lawrie, update a quilted coat using bright Lazy Daisy Stitches with Cotton Clara’s founder Chloe Hardisty, and transform a plain cotton basket into on-trend toy storage with Anna Alicia. Plus, Rachael Dobbins is sharing a stunning alpine landscape from her new book, and Natalie Gaynor shows you how to make your own tassels to add a tactile quality to your spring makes. If that wasn’t enough to tempt you, we also catch up with machine embroidery artist, Hannah Refaat about her Middle Eastern influences, and talk to Liz Stiglets of CozyBlue about the restorative qualities of stitching.
