A major moment for Coral & Tusk in 2013 was a multi-page feature in Martha Stewart Living!! Rory Evans interviewed Coral & Tusk artist and designer Stephanie Housley on her embroidered creations. This was a true dream come true after Martha Stewart had been such an inspiration to Stephanie in procuring her first embroidery machine.

What makes Stephanie tick:

"I love the feel of drawing with thread', Housley says. "I enjoy the tactile experience of it.' She gets inspired by everything from the resourceful, creative women in her family to illustration plates in books such as Amazing Rare Things..."

How Did Coral & Tusk Begin?

"I was working full-time at my job, then coming home and setting up the machine and running it until 4:00 a.m." - Stephanie Housley
