"Embroidery has a reputation for meticulous diligence, a good thing in many ways, but that is an optional part of what makes it beautiful. My approach is a little different: I love to liberate the stitches, letting them grow bigger and wilder as an expression of my inner and outer worlds."
/ Judit Gummlich

"Judit’s artistry is in how she encourages us to continue our exploration beyond stitch-by-stitch instruction, and as we do so, we discover how it can be a canvas for a new palette of stitches, or a page for a new lexicon. We are invited to disrupt the surface and at the same time celebrate it with yet more."
/ Anna Feldman
