About the Author

After a wonderful childhood of travelling the world with her family, Jenny McWhinney settled in Australia. The inspiration for her embroidery is from nature itself and her early needlework projects involved simple stitches, really just 'colouring in' with threads, the creatures she had drawn. From there, she progressed to using a greater variety of stitches and threads, achieving a more sophisticated effect with stitch direction and colour, creating her now signature style. Her work is instantly identifiable and she has a strong following thanks to her many magazine articles published in Australia and internationally.
