Jane Sanders | Pop Portrait Perfection [NX005]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Jane Sanders.

Jane Sanders, also known as Stitchin In The Kitchen, has made a name for herself with her machine embroidered, mixed media pop portraits. Jane’s hippie punk foundations underpin her artistic mindset and, among other things, we talk about the joy of communal art projects and the challenges of commissioned work.
