We had the pleasure of chatting with Barnes about her book and her own journey with embroidery.

How did your journey with embroidery begin?
I began embroidering by way of collage.
I kept it in my supplies stash for years without touching it.
Eventually, I was looking for a way to create interesting textures on paper to enhance my collage work.
I decided to try stitching on paper with the yarn.
It led me to stitch on fabric, albeit inconsistently.
About five years later, I’m still working in collage but doing more embroidery.
I then moved across the U.S. and decided not to take my cut paper scraps with me.
At that point, in 2018, I decided to fully explore embroidery.
It’s been my primary way of working ever since.
What inspired you to create this book?
The idea of treasure was a driving force in this book.
What do you enjoy most about teaching others embroidery?
Embroidery is a skill everyone should have!
I enjoy showing how embroidery can do that and watching folks gain confidence with every stitch made.
Embroidery is meditative and healing!
What do you hope people take away from the book?
