About

 Caroline Zoob trained as a singer at the Royal College of Music and later as a solicitor. 

She first took up a needle in her late thirties, inspired by the arrival of the children of her close friends. Serendiptous encounters led to a new and entirely unplanned phase in her life during which she designed children’s bedlinen and ceramics for commercial companies as well as decorative accessories for the home, made from antique textiles and embellished with hand embroidery. 

Caroline started to teach in 2014 and has run many workshops and retreats. “I love to share my ideas through my workshops and embroidery kits and to see people who might never have embroidered before enjoy creating something.”

Caroline started designing embroidery kits in 2018, and in 2019 she founded The Stitcher’s Journal, celebrating the art of embroidery.

Caroline has written three books, Childhoood Treasures, The Handstitched Home and Virginia Woolf’s Garden. She lives with her husband Jonathan and their cat, Humbug, in East Sussex.
