Contemporary word embroidery embraces typographic creativity, transforming text into visually striking fiber art beyond traditional samplers. Modern approaches might feature abstract letterforms where stitches follow emotional rather than grammatical logic, or layered text creating depth through varied thread weights. Many artists use words conceptually in their embroidery, perhaps stitching repetitive phrases to create textures or arranging dictionary definitions into shapes they represent. Popular techniques include mixing handwriting styles within one piece, incorporating found text from personal correspondence, or creating optical illusions with positive/negative space in letters. These text-based works often explore themes of memory, identity, and communication through the physicality of stitched words. Modern word embroidery appears in gallery exhibitions as often as in home decor, bridging craft and conceptual art while maintaining embroidery’s traditional connection to storytelling and personal expression.

Stitched

From time to time one of these puzzles pops up on my Facebook feed, and so I thought it would be fun to create a stitched version too. It’s really easy to spot the “odd one out” as the little panda is sporting a brightly coloured party hat complete with fluffy pompom, all ready for the party season ahead. This hoop is very simple to stitch and would make a great beginner’s project – its success depends upon the accuracy of your backstitching,which is all worked in a singlestrand of black floss. Shown mounted in 8” hoop. Please note this is a digital pattern and you will not receive anything in the post. For more images please click below:
