Embroidery Magazine March/April 2025
- Worldwide Shipping Available
We are delighted to be stocking Embroidery Magazine. This gorgeous magazine is published six times a year and is packed full of in-depth artist profiles, artist’s essays, reviews of the latest textile books and exhibitions, news & listings of fashion and textile exhibitions in the UK and abroad, along with inspirational images.
The magazine aims to bring you the best of embroidery and textiles, talking to makers and artists who share their passion for embellishing the surface – giving readers a unique insight into all facets of this sumptuous craft.
In this issue:
Embroidery magazine’s March/April issue includes a full rundown of compelling exhibitions and events throughout the year and across the UK.
Meet cover star King Eadwig whose short life story would not have been out of place in the ruthless world of HBO’s Game of Thrones drama. Inside, we bring you the story of seven Saxon kings and Jacky Puzey’s incredible eight-year project to portray them in stitch.
Elsewhere, we delve into garden delights with the work of Janet Haigh and Hannah Louise Egan. Janet’s work looks at ‘Tulip Mania’ and the gardens of National Trust property Hidcote. Hannah tells us how, after tragic family loss, she changed her career to the healing practice of textiles, with pieces incorporating her love of houseplants (she currently has 60).
A retrospective on feminist stalwart Su Richardson looks at 50 years of her work, which often uses humour to grab people’s attention, such as in her Boob Licious series.
‘Offbeat Artist’ profiles Leah Doeland from Australia whose Covid Couture collection is remarkable in rescuing items from the bin that would seem impossible to recycle. She uses them to create jackets – the ultimate in junk couture.
Meanwhile, from New Zealand, Alison Leauanae tells us about her vivid abstract works, partly inspired by her Samoan heritage.
We also meet the new CEO of the Royal School of Needlework and discover her plans to revisit the spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement; and catch up with Jessie Chorley whose major solo exhibition is set to delight. Plus, we’ve got the latest from David Morrish, who has just published a book on digital embroidery and is working on a new style of ‘darker’ pieces.
Finally, we take a peek inside The Sewing Room of award-winning artist Beth Somerville, who is settling into her new studio at New Brewery Arts, Cirencester.

How much is your shipping?
Full details can be found here.
Why is your minimum postage charge £3.50?
We use a tracked service which costs us a minimum of £3.50, even for a letter sized parcel. With standard untracked, we found we were doing a lot of chasing of lost/delayed parcels. Then we have the dilemma of whether to send items again (so we lose out on stock) or make the customer wait (not great service). It is not a very effective use of time and resources when running a business.
With tracked services, goods are insured for loss which is important for us and you as a customer. You can also see where your parcel is using the tracking number, and when it is due for delivery.
Do you ship Internationally?
Yes send goods all over the World. More details here.
How are your payments processed?
We use the Shopify/Stripe platforms to process all sales securely. We accept most cards but if you have problems with an international payment then please get in touch at grace@shopbeyondmeasure.co.uk as we can issue a Paypal invoice as an alternative option.
Can I return an item?
Yes, please contact us by email if you wish to return an item for any reason. Please read our full terms and conditions for more details.

I have another question not covered here, how do I get in touch?
Beyond Measure is a very small business but we try to offer excellent service. Please contact us by email at grace@shopbeyondmeasure.co.uk in the first instance as messages on Facebook and Instagram do not always show immediately and telephone reception is not always the best at our workplace. We will get back to you as soon as we can!
