Machine embroidery shaped by close observation of nature
Meredith Woolnough presents organic embroidery as a process that begins outdoors: observing and sketching natural forms such as leaves, shells, and coral, then translating their structures into stitched openwork. The book traces that path from research and design development to embroidered sculptural pieces, giving the technique a clear connection to the natural patterns behind it. Twelve activities provide a practical framework for experimenting with shape, pattern, and machine sewing while leaving room to develop individual designs. Photographs of Woolnough’s finished work add visual reference for the possibilities of the method.
