MATILDA SMITH

When our Art Editor Matilda isn’t lovingly designing the pages of Love Embroidery, you’ll find her creating charming illustrations like these tea time motifs and dabbling in all kinds of crafts, including knitting, pottery and, of course, embroidery. Her recent illustrations have focused on the beauty of the tiny overlooked weeds in her local area of Bristol. She loves putting unexpected colour combinations together and relishes working with fabric and thread, having studied textiles at university.
