Abigail Mill studied Embroidered Textiles at Cumbria College of Art and Design and graduated in 1990. After graduating, she set up her business with the help of The Prince’s Trust and has been working ever since. Over the years she has developed her own unique style and technique of free machine embroidery, and has been featured in several craft books and magazines. She has also taught in art schools and worked on private commissions, including artwork for the Buxton ward at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. As well as selling her pictures at art and craft fairs across the UK, Abigail runs a publishing business, printing greetings cards from her original artwork, which she sells through gift shops and galleries in the UK, France, America and Japan. She sells to major clients such as John Lewis and has been selected by the Crafts Council to exhibit regularly in New York and San Francisco. Abigail lives in Bristol, UK. www.abigailmill.co.uk
