Guitars, Guitars and More Guitars

For the very first time, I’m thrilled to release the Guitar Collection as a complete series in the Artful Embroidery line. This project is especially meaningful to me—having played guitar for more than 45 years, I’ve always been fascinated not only by the sound of the instrument but also by its artistry and design. Every curve, every finish, and every detail tells a story, and I wanted these embroidered guitars to capture that same timeless charm in thread.

Inside this collection you’ll find 13 different guitars, both acoustic and electric, each one designed with its own character. Some are bold and iconic, others refined and classic—but together they celebrate the incredible diversity of an instrument that has shaped music history. The embroidery itself is highly detailed, using layered stitch work to mimic the look and feel of real guitar finishes, from glossy sunbursts to vintage wood grains.

To make these designs easy to display, each guitar has been sized and formatted to fit into standard shadowbox frames, which you can easily find online. Once stitched, the guitars are mounted in relief—either on a matte board or over an embroidered background—creating a dimensional effect that makes them look like miniature works of art hanging on your wall. They’re the perfect gift for any music lover, or a striking centerpiece for your own creative space.

This collection was created as part of the Artful Embroidery series, where the focus is on transforming embroidery into fine art. The Artful Embroidery book provides step-by-step instructions to guide you through mounting and finishing, so you can confidently turn your stitched guitars into polished, professional-looking pieces.

For me, this series is about more than embroidery—it’s about blending two passions: music and art. Whether you’re a lifelong musician, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of craftsmanship, I hope these guitars inspire you to stitch something truly personal. Each design is not just a project, but a celebration of creativity, music, and the enduring artistry of the guitar.
