Lorna Joan Bateman

Lorna Bateman Embroidery Kits, Patterns & Prints, Curated Embroidery Supplies and Workshops.

Originally from South Africa, Lorna has lived in the UK for more than 25 years where she works full time as a teacher and designer. Teaching and sharing her designs and embroidery techniques is Lorna’s passion. Her teaching has taken her all over the world including the French Alps, USA, South Africa, Russia and Ireland. She has just published her first book ‘Embroidered Country Gardens’ released by Search Press.

She loves all forms of 3-dimensional, raised and textured embroidery and tries to encompass as many of these in her designs as possible. Lorna has a passion for flowers and this shines through in all of her work. She is also an enthusiastic gardener and draws much of her inspiration from her thriving country garden.

Lorna lives and works from her picturesque cottage in rural Hampshire. Most of her stitching and hard work happens from her garden studio ‘The Nest’.
