About

Hello, I’m Emma.

I’m a punch needle embroiderer and illustrator doing my best to navigate life with as much grace and joy as possible. I love old things, sunshine, rabbits, embroidery, angel wings, words, and all the colours of the rainbow.

I truly believe punch needle is the best, easiest, and most joyful way to start making textile art you’re proud of - and I’d love to show you how.

You’ll find me teaching inside my friendly little membership, The Punch Needle Nest, and sharing peeks behind the scenes over on Instagram. I also create and sell beginner-friendly punch needle kits, so you can get started with everything you need in one go - whether you’re learning on your own or stitching along with me.

After 24 years in the design industry - with my work stocked in beautiful places like Liberty London, Fenwick, JoJo Maman Bébé and John Lewis - I now pour my energy into creating joyful punch needle art, teaching others this wonderful craft, and running my business from the rolling hills of the Chilterns, with my family and two house rabbits by my side.

“This is the season she will make beautiful things.
Not perfect things but honest things that speak
to who she is and who she is called to be.”
