Stitch magazine | August/September 2020
What better way to start than with all the brilliance and bling of goldwork. Hattie McGill fully embraces the sparkle on offer with a glorious rendition of a bee. It’s delicate, classy and broken down into bitesize chunks so it’s achievable for all. But bees need flowers. So there’s a 3-dimensional little forget-me-not by Georgina Bellamy for you to try. Her contemporary twist on the traditional is infectious: don’t be surprised if you end up making a bunch of them. If that isn’t enough to get you going, check out Jay Hooper’s Party Poodle. Like a glass of chilled prosecco on a hot summer’s day, it will leave you happy and giddy!
We’ve also got stories from amazing professional stitchers: Janine Heschl, Jessica Devin and Collette Kinley. The thought, time and talent they pour into their work is a lesson in itself. All are self-taught and share a similar drive to push themselves to do better. What they manage to achieve with needle and thread is sublime. Be inspired by the insight from their interviews.
