Hello – I am Paula MacGregor, textile artist, educator, and creative inspirer.
How lovely that you are here, and curious to explore the gentle art of slow stitching.
Perhaps you are just beginning your slow stitch journey, wondering what it is and how to get started?
Or maybe you are a seasoned stitcher, looking for fresh ideas, guidance, or a quiet nudge back into your creative flow?
Wherever you are on the path, you are most welcome.
I live on an old farm in the English countryside, surrounded by trees and water. My neighbours are deer, foxes, badgers and owls – with nightingales, cuckoos, and even ravens calling from the nearby woods. It is a place full of quiet magic, and it is here that much of my stitching and storytelling begins.
I am delighted to invite you to join me in the Slow Stitch School Library – a warm and gentle space where you can learn at your own pace, explore new techniques, and develop your own beautifully unique style.
Inside the Library, you will find thoughtful guidance, creative inspiration, and simple ways to bring more calm, joy, and meaning into your stitching.
The books make wonderful gifts, they cost virtually nothing to make but are crammed full of love and time - precious commodities in todays busy world.
Let us begin this journey – stitching the world together...
From Paula - with love -X-
