Stitching Emotions

Contribute to a collective textile book exploring the way we feel when we stitch. This will be part of my Mary Linwood exhibition in 2025.

We don’t know Mary Linwood’s feelings about her embroidery practice but she must have loved stitching. Women’s experiences in history are rarely recorded and we have very little written evidence of how they felt about doing embroidery. 

This project gives a voice to women’s experience of stitching and embroidery and allows us to share why we do this practice of slow hand stitching. 

Contributions to this collective project will be included in my exhibition Mary Linwood: Art, Stitch and Life at Leicester Museum Sept 2025 – Jan 2026.
