Elin Petronella creates modern embroidery works of art, impeccably bringing them to life with her needle and thread. Rather than repeating tried and true embroidery patterns, her designs are inspired by the architecture of the European cities she’s called home as well as the places she’s worked and travelled to around the globe.

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Elin about why she was drawn to embroidery, how she developed her unique style, her creative process when developing new designs, how teaching and developing resources for others has impacted her own creative journey, and why embroidery can be such a powerful mindful and meditative practice.

Elin is incredibly talented and has a fantastic creative partner by her side - her husband, Charles Henry. He was enamoured with her talents and was even inspired to take up the art form himself. Together, they focus on the mindful, meditative aspects of embroidery and aim to inspire people to slow down and create with their hands.

The two of them have built a loyal fan base of people who are wowed by their designs and the way they’re able to teach new skills and techniques in an approachable way. Through their videos, tutorials, a brand new book, and a monthly pattern subscription club, they’re sharing the joy of embroidery with the world.
