An Embroiderer’s Magazine Art Quilters Will Like

by

Stitch with the Embroiderers’ Guild magazine is a magazine about embroidery and other stitching like no other I’ve found. It is a British publication started by the English Embroiderers’ Guild. It reminds me some of Quilting Arts but the emphasis is on embroidery instead of quilting.

The great thing is that if you like to embellish quilts or make embellished items you will love this magazine. The June/July issue that I have has instructions on how to embroider (not do smocking stitches) on smocked fabric, make designer fabric postcards, fusing fabrics, painting fabric and how to do faux chenille to make burlap_pillow.JPGtextured fabric. And of course, there is embroidery techniques and projects for framed pieces or pillows. One of the reasons I picked up this one yesterday was a pillow made out of burlap that has been embroidered with a darning stitch which makes it look woven. I could see using this in an art quilt.
