Episode notes
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Julie Heaton.
Julie Heaton is a Bristol-based machine embroidery artist whose incredible illustrations are borne from tragedy.
When her husband ended his own life in 2009, it sparked a creative journey that continues to this day and in this first part of our conversation we talk about the impact of the suicide among other things. It's an emotional conversation but Julie's perspective is invaluable.
