In light of our recent Ultimate Guide to Embroidery, we figured it would be a good time to flood you with some beautiful inspiration! Lars’ Favorite Embroidery Artists is chalk-full of jaw-dropping talent, each artist with their own unique style. Study the guide first, then take a look at their work, and try to identify some of the stitches. You’ll find that some consistently use only a few stitches, and others quite the variety. Either way, fill up with inspiration and then dive right into stitching! All you need is a needle and thread, some Netflix, and popcorn, and you’re set for a Friday night! Who says we’re not party animals?

Lars’ Favorite Embroidery Artists
All of her designs are so intricate and quirky! There is a daintiness about her work that intrigues me. I want everything she makes!
I love the bold foliage Sarah creates. The embroidery is almost as lush as a real plant! She sells her artwork as well as patterns on her Etsy shop
The earthy tones of this artist are so lovely and comforting. Everything has a softness about it.
Chloe is a genius with animal embroidery! They way she can capture the likeness of fur with color and stitches is unreal.
I love the abstract quality of her stitches. It’s foliage done in a new and fresh way
Such an array of bright and happy flowers! All of the stitches she uses are very simple, the key is in the repetition. You can’t look at her work and not smile!
I’ve loved the work of Need a New Needle for a number of years now. I even ordered this dress but it was a bit snug for me. It’s all hand embroidered in Bangkok and so quirky, fun!
I’m sure I’m missing some good ones. Who are your favorites?? I’d love to expand my list! Note: our comments are not working right now, please email me at brittany [at] thehousethatlarsbuilt dot com
