Laura Edgar: Atmospheric Coastal Scenes in Textile Art
Laura Edgar is our guest today on the Stitchery Stories textile art podcast. Laura shares her life as a textile artist and tutor who is inspired by her native beautiful & dramatic Northumberland coastline.

Listen as Laura shares her lifelong delight with textile art.
Susan Weeks chats with Laura about:
The fascination of the back of embroidery Looking forward to some creative playtime Oh, the delights of Jumble Sales & astrakhan coats! Being inspired by the sea How to create beautiful folds and creases in fabric Spontaneity with reverse stitching... hopefully Not a fan of Hardanger preferring less structure & formality The excitement of being included in her first book The delight of meeting others who get so excited about fabric & threads Working on commissions Getting the balance and not over-working or over-embellishing Being the eager recipient of 'button tins' donated by work colleagues Enjoying taking part in Embroiderers' Guild events, activities, competitions & exhibitions, branch, regional & nationallyFor this episode...
