In The Press!

Nicola started the company in 2019 after finding it difficult to find hand embroidery patterns that were exciting and a bit different from the usual. Wanting to combine her love of hand embroidery stitches, traditional sampler techniques as well as quilt designs(!) she decided to come up with something herself and it has evolved into an array of wonderful and colourful designs that will hopefully inspire and excite people to pick up a needle and get stitching.

Alongside the designing, Nicola is passionate about teaching others how to stitch her patterns and regularly holds stitch a longs on the blog to offer a more indepth look at some patterns and for a community of stitchers to enjoy coming together and creating a design they can all be proud of.

With a stitching obsessed, thread loving, pug loving, and some might say slightly scatty person behind all the creativeness, Stitchdoodles enjoys offering unusual and unique designs to get you passionate about stitching.

Nicola happily admits that hand embroidery has quite literally been a blessing in her life. No matter how busy you are with family, work and everything else that comes your way – you can always find a moment of ‘happy stitching’.
