About the Author

Shelagh Amor grew up in England, where she pursued a career in accounting before marrying and settling in Australia.

For Shelagh, embroidery became a passion, first patchwork then counted thread techniques—canvaswork, pulled thread, Hardanger and blackwork—and, with time, she developed skills in crewel embroidery. She passed on her skills by conducting regular classes covering all of these techniques, and became widely known for her gift for spreading her enthusiasm for embroidery.

In twenty years of teaching, Shelagh has established a reputation for her meticulous attention to detail and finish. She now finds that it is crewel embroidery which most captures her imagination, from the first pencil line on paper to the last stitch on the linen.

Shelagh Amor currently teaches crewel embroidery at all levels, both in the classroom and by correspondence. She sees it as her mission in life to make the time honored technique of crewel embroidery as enjoyable as possible for her students
