Needlework Tours is an independently owned Company run by Tour Manager Maureen Laughlin and her husband Simon. Maureen was born in the UK and has over 27 years experience in the travel industry, while escorting many private tours around the world. Maureen's second love after her family is her avid interest in embroidery and she wants nothing more than to have the walls at home bowing with the weight of her completed projects. Needlework Tours Pty Ltd operates under Holiday World Travel Pty Ltd. Travel Agents Licence No 31766. Needlework Tours is a specialist tour company that has for a number of years conducted Needlework and Stately Homes Tours throughout the UK and France. These small group specialist tours combine the visiting and staying in beautiful stately homes, history, fine dining and gardens with needlework classes from Royal School of Needlework training tutors. More recently the company has utilized its experience in needlework tours to expand into needlework cruising. The inaugural Needlework Cruise set sail in February 2013 to the South Pacific with nearly 200 guests including 12 of Australia’s most renowned needlework tutors and some 160 enthusiastic stitches. The second cruise brings together 21 needlework, patchwork and quilting tutors as well as beading and felting tutors on a cruise to New Zealand. Further cruises are in planning.

It's official - Taylor Swift even does embroidery!

We STILL can’t get over Swift enjoying herself in a little bit of embroidery - just one of many reasons we love her.

She, like us, enjoys the peacefulness embroidery brings and the joy when a piece you’ve worked so hard on is finally finished.

Whether it’s learning a new stitch, picking the perfect colour thread or finding a design you love, there’s a million reasons to pick up a needle and get embroidering! 🧵🪡

Past issues can be found at the Our Media shop for inspiration and designs for any theme or occasion.

And did you know Love Embroidery has an Etsy shop? Checkout the link in our bio to discover what fantastic pattens we have available!

Beautiful Bobbin Lace strikes again! Oh the French Tour Ladies are in for such a treat, this year and next!

beautiful horse artwork made from bobbin lace, displayed at an arts and crafts exhibition. The intricate lacework captures the elegance and grace of the horse, highlighted by soft lighting to emphasize its artistic and delicate design.

Bobbin lace is a lace textile made by braiding and twisting lengths of thread, which are wound on bobbins to manage them. As the work progresses, the weaving is held in place with pins set in a lace pillow, the placement of the pins usually determined by a pattern or pricking pinned on the pillow.

This dress definitely has the wow factor 🌸
