Embroidered Birds and their Habitats explores the author' s fascination with birds and the ways they interact with their surroundings. The book is divided into three parts:Part 1 covers the basic requirements of what the reader needs, including design requirements, embroidery materials and additional equipment. It also includes a section on research and choosing a suitable bird and its habitat, and information on drawing up a design related to the bird and its placement in the wider landscape. Part 2 explores processes and techniques used in designing and working more complicated elements through two projects. These guide the reader through the entire process, from inspiration through to working design. The reader learns techniques for layering the background and stitching; picking up all the skills and techniques needed to complete a hand-stitched, low-relief panel. This includes elements embroidered both on- and off-frame. Part 3 includes further examples of the author' s embroideries, and drawn designs that could be used in future works. This section also includes information on finishing the work (mounting and framing), a stitch glossary, reference section and acknowledgements.

Judy works with the mediums of fabric and thread and the many and varied techniques of hand embroidery. Her unique embroideries draw on years of personal study and practice in design, drawing, painting, print-making, clay and object making but it is the flexibility and technical variety inherent in textiles, in particular hand embroidery, that has and will continue to fascinate her. Her works are held in diplomatic, corporate and private collections in Australia and internationally. She holds a Churchill Fellowship - studying ancient and contemporary narrative embroideries in the UK in 1999; a Diploma of Design; Embroiderers Guild, NSW Proficiency Certificate for Applique: Distinction; and is an accredited tutor with the Guild and TAFE (the leading provider of vocational education and training in Australia). Judy is a well-regarded tutor throughout Australia and New Zealand at Textile Forums and McGregor Schools (University of Southern Queensland) tutoring her developed techniques revolving around birds and their habitats, the wider landscape and narrative works. She won the 2013 National Australian Society of Miniature Arts Awards for Mixed Media and the 2012 Yvonne Perring Memorial Award for best use of Traditional Techniques. She has written articles for various magazines and books, such as Masterworks and Inspirations, as well as having her book ' Embroidered Landscapes' published by Sally Milner.
