Author Biography

Chloe began to sew in the last year of her Illustration degree at the University of the West of England, and since graduating in 2011 she has continued to experiment with freehand embroidery, using sewing thread and hand-dyed fabrics. Her clients include Vintage Books and Penguin, for whom she has designed the book cover for The Comet Seekers by Helen Sedgwick. Chloe is now regarded as one of the world's top embroiderers and has been featured on numerous textile art websites, including www.TextileArtist.org, www.thisiscollossal.com, as well as Mary Corbet's www.needlenthread.com and www.BoredPanda.com. She sells her original pieces, prints and greetings cards on Etsy and through her website: www.chloegiordano.com.
