Meredith Woolnough | Organic Machine Embroidery [NX008]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Meredith Woolnough.

Meredith Woolnough is an Australian machine embroidery artist whose organic creations are instantly recognisable and simply stunning. Meredith’s art pieces are celebration of the beauty of nature and at the same time, a technical marvel. We talk about her passion for science and nature, the pleasure she gets from teaching, and how her work is much like darning.
