Sarah has been researching and sharing hand embroidery lessons for over 17 years, making it accessible to everyone around the globe.
I’m just starting out and would love to get your ebook! It looks like perhaps it will be due out soon? Can’t wait! Since I have no idea what I’m looking for it is hard to find what stitch I want by name. I’d love to flip through them in a book!

When will the ebook be available? I am looking forward to buying it! 🙂

This is a square from a baby quilt, half the squares are embroidered – this site is such an inspiration.
Kind regards,

Since this was a page on embroidery contribution, we just put up a sample from her, as Maria shares many of her lovely works.
P.S. Was on a long vacation…could not reply earlier.

Hi Sarah,
I have never embroidered in my life but have been very inspired in my travels…especially recently when i had the chance to witness a lot of phulkari work. I want to try my hand at it but am having a hard time finding the silk ‘pat’ thread needed. I live in mumbai and have checked a few places to my disappointment. Do you know of a place where I can get supplies for Phulkari work? Also, are you planning to have embroidery workshop anytime soon?
love your tutorials.
Yasmin
Dear Yasmin,
Sorry, I am not really aware of the places in Mumbai where you might get things for Phulkari work.
I might hold some workshops after a few months. It would be in Pune. I will announce it once all the arrangements are in place.

Hi Sarah,
I’ve used whipped stem stitch & buttonhole stich to create this peacock feather ……..
I actually did these two first, when we thought the baby was a girl.
This was my VERY FIRST try at embroidery, and, it’s not very good, but I am still working at it and getting better. The stitches are random. I am very open to suggestions on how to do this particular type thing better.
Hi Sarah!!
Here are some of my works. I used stem stitch, long and short stitch, open chain stitch, fly stitch, simple chain stitch.
Regards.
Hello Sarah, hope I’m not too late to contribute…. This piece I have titled “Wakey, Wakey” It has been stitched in space dyed rayon threads using only chain and straight stitches.
Hi Sarah,
I was just going through to find out any classes to learn on embroidery. Your blog is awesome and could see lot of creativity. Can you please let me know if are conducting any classes or can you suggest any near hsr layout.
Thanks!!
