About me

Georgie Millard is a wife, mother, health worker and part-time stitcher. She lives in England by the sea with her family and rescue dog, Miss Jean. She was raised in a family of conservatives, but is the black sheep of the family and has very liberal left views!

She learnt embroidery as a small girl and took it up again as an adult to help with her mental health, after suffering with postnatal depression. The embroidery addiction soon took over and before she knew it, her boxes of floss were multiplying and her fabric stash was taking over.

About me

I am a 17 year old hailing from the beautiful land of South Africa. I have only been embroidering for the past year and began as a form of therapy. There is a silent sense of healing through the slow work of embroidery which I have embraced and learn patience from such a practice in a world of instant gratification. Embroidery has also taught me to express my thoughts, dreams and journeys in a refreshingly new and contemporary way.
