<p>It's not unusual for fashion trends to translate into interior trends. Embroidery is all over the runway and is fast moving into our interiors as well. If you're looking for a new project, or something to adorn your walls, these Instagram embroiderers will inspire you. <br /> <br /> <strong>1.</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emillieferris/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">@EMILLIEFERRIS</span></strong></a> </p>

<p>If you didn't think embroidery could be detailed, Emillie Ferris is here to prove you wrong. Her lifelike animal portraits have a illustrative quality to them that she describes as "needle painting". <br /> <br /> There's something about "Suki" that prompts a smile, but her woodland creatures, bugs and various flora and fauna are also noteworthy.</p>
