THE BOBBIN TREE
Jenny McWhinney of Jenny
McWhinney Designs is well known
in the embroidery industry. For
more than 30 years she has been
producing her own designs and
stitching them using a diverse
range of threads on various
fabrics, depending on the eff ect
she is creating. This technique is
called thread-painting; all of her
work is completed by hand.
About 40 of Jenny’s designs
have appeared in Australian
magazines, including Homespun.
Several years ago she decided
she wanted to spend more time
designing than travelling, so she
set up a shop, The Bobbin Tree,
in Adelaide to display her work and to hold her workshops. There are
six workshops scheduled at the shop each week.
