Hello, I'm Katherine
A mixed-media embroidery artist in Sheffield, stitching pieces inspired by nature, water and tropical colour.
It began as quiet evenings with a needle and thread — the slow rhythm of stitching after a long day.
Those evenings grew into something bigger. Today I make mixed-media embroidery from my home in Sheffield: one-off original pieces alongside cards and embroidery kits, so you can hang my work on your wall or stitch a little of your own.
My inspiration comes from the natural world — tropical light, water, jungle greens, the colour of a paradise I keep returning to in thread. Every original is made slowly, by hand.

Stitching
Hours of slow handwork, building the piece thread by thread.
- 04
Finishing
Mounting, pressing and packing each piece with care.
What I care about
Made by hand
Every original gets the time and attention it needs — no shortcuts, no machine.
Good materials
Quality threads and fabrics chosen for how they wear and how they catch the light.
Something for everyone
From one-off originals to affordable cards and make-your-own kits.
