Memorial Stitches' Edward Gorey-Inspired Embroideries

Memorial Stitches is the brainchild of Carrie Violet, an English artist whose embroideries are inspired by the renowned

illustrator Edward Gorey. Rather than creating full-color compositions, she uses black thread to mimic exquisite thin pen lines. Elongated fingers, curious figures, and romantic notions are all expressed on neutral-colored fabric. I love how simple and elegant they are—plus, one quotes Slaugtherhouse-five, “Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.”

Carrie sells her embroideries through her online shop.
