Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles.

Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.

In this episode we talk about Time Management, how we stay organised, how we prioritise and how we get stuff done! We discuss "Eating the Frog" and how we decide what is or isn't important.
