Anyone who’s stepped into crafting circles on the internet knows embroidery is beyond cool — but did you know that simple fabric and thread can be elevated to high art? Artists are taking vibrant colors and hand-stitching groovy plant scenes, fantastical landscapes and unique portraits that are both playful and precise.
Our thread obsession has led us to feminist embroidered artwork, quippy catchphrases, and even lady-power takes on Arthur memes — and now we’ve compiled the eye-catching work of 14 artists from all over the world to admire and support.
