Velvet Lovebirds

by Phillipa Turnbull

Reinterpreted by Phillipa Turnbull from a velvet embroidery in our collection, the design combines bold colour, intricate stitch placement and beautifully textured surfaces to create a richly atmospheric piece inspired by traditional Arts & Crafts embroidery.

The amazing health benefits of practicing embroidery

  • Lowers blood pressure

    Embroidery calms the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and contributes to lower blood pressure, reducing stress for improved well-being.

  • Regulates breath

    Engaging in embroidery encourages mindful, rhythmic stitching, promoting focused breathing patterns that can induce a sense of calm and relaxation.

  • Calms nervous system

    Embroidery, with its repetitive and rhythmic hand movements, engages the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.

  • Form deep social bonds

    Our online community fosters connection through a shared creative space, encouraging communication and supporting the exchange of ideas, nurturing deep social bonds among members.
