Joan McQuillan - Embroiderer
achievements exhibitions commissions

One of my great passions is architecture and
using this as my inspiration combined with other
design elements I work to produce embroidered
textural images.

This is achieved using a technique of machine embroidery
and intense layering of fabric and thread, handmade paper,
wires and printing.

The pieces range from small three-dimensional items,
cards, exquisite embroidered bags, through to small
and medium sized framed wall hangings.

I am in the experimental stages of also moving into
large-scale embroideries.
