Something beautiful is about to take flight…
You're Invited to the World Premiere of The Hummingbird's Embrace!
Two brand-new creative books. One breathtaking collection. And a very special invitation from Tracey and Urban.
Join Tracey Sims-Paterson and Urban Zündt LIVE as they reveal their latest creative collaboration.
Discover how original botanical artwork has been transformed into an extraordinary collection of machine embroidery, fabric painting and sewing projects.
For the very first time, you'll get to explore TWO beautiful new publications, discover the stories and techniques behind the designs, and see the complete collection unveiled before the books officially go on sale.
And yes… there may be a lovely little surprise waiting for you when we open the doors!
This is a FREE online event, and we'd love you to join us.
A Little Bird Told Me Something Wonderful Was Coming…
If you've ever admired one of Tracey's beautiful floral creations and wondered how a piece of artwork makes its way from an original drawing to a finished embroidery project, you're going to love this.
Tracey and Urban have been working together on something rather special.
Inspired by the delicate beauty of hummingbirds, the graceful forms of foxgloves and fuchsias, and the wonderful possibilities of combining artistry with machine embroidery, they've created an entire world of projects to explore.
And they haven't stopped at just one book.
They've created TWO!
The Hummingbird's Embrace
Filled with gorgeous, practical projects that allow you to bring the artwork into your home and everyday life.
The Hummingbird's Embrace Quilt
Something quite spectacular: a complete embroidered quilt that brings the entire theme together.
We've kept the full collection under wraps for long enough. Now it's time to share it with you.
And what better way than to invite you to join Tracey and Urban for a very special live celebration?

Whether You Love Embroidery, Sewing, Quilting or Simply Creating Beautiful Things…
There's something rather wonderful about seeing a design come together.
The moment an embroidery machine begins stitching…
The moment colour brings a flower to life…
Or that delightful feeling when you stand back, look at your finished project and think:
