Izzy & Gina in stitches

You asked, we answered! And we'll definitely return to some of the topics raised in future episodes, as there was more to discuss than we had time for.

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.

And one or two of Izzy's favourite Dolly Parton one liners:

“I’m not offended by all of the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde.”

"Find out who you are and do it on purpose"

"I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed."
"I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched."
