Waikato Embroiderers' Guild Inc.

British embroiderist Jenny Adin-Christie brings extraordinary craftsmanship to textile art through her mastery of traditional embroidery techniques. In Hebridean Puffin (2022), delicate stitches, beadwork, and raised embroidery create a richly textured portrait of the beloved seabird.

Known for her expertise in fine whitework, goldwork, and stumpwork, Adin-Christie combines historic embroidery traditions with contemporary artistic expression. The result is a work that feels both intricate and alive — where thread, texture, and careful detail transform fabric into a vibrant natural scene. ❤️

Rae Howan created this gorgeous pillow, and added a lovely edge of beads. Designs stitched in one color are pretty stunning.

The design is Pennsylvania Christmas deer by Shakespeare's Peddler.
