A Quick Catch Up and an Exciting New Customer!

I have not been very good at blogging lately, sorry. I have been so busy designing and making but the end is in sight and I look forward to having a bit more time for wedding makes and online shop revamps very soon.


One thing that was keeping me busy was preparing for a big meeting in London. All of the hard work was worth it and I am pleased to say that Jane Churchill have purchased some of my design work for their Nursery Collection. I can't wait to see how they develop my artwork to become part of their range. It is really exciting to be working with such a wonderful brand.


Whilst in London I was finally able to make it to the V&A Museum for the Quilts Exhibition (shortly before it ended) and thought it was great, so inspiring, I really enjoyed myself. My Mum has the accompanying book so I shall have to have a read of that next time I visit. My Mum visited the exhibition before me a kindly bought me these two quilting fabrics from the exhibition shop:

After looking around the exhibition I added to this little selection with these:

I look forward to making use of them all. I shall have to think of something really special to make with them. I have always wanted to make a patchwork quilt with fabrics and embroidered and appliquéd pieces that bring back happy memories. Perhaps having visited this inspiring exhibition is my prompt to make a start.


I have a few customer meetings this week too so am busy working towards those at the moment.


Whilst I am here I also wanted to point you in the direction of the delicious blog 'Cakes I Create'. They recently featured my Cupcake Wedding Card in amongst all of their tasty looking cakes and recipes. 

Thank you for featuring me 'Cakes I Create'!

New Design Now Available in M&Co.

Last year I did a freelance project with M&Co creating design artworks to be produced as printed textiles for their home department. My leaf print design is now part of their Spring/Summer range and is available as tea towels, table cloths, napkins, placemats and seat pads.

New Design in Marks and Spencer

I picked up the new Marks and Spencer Autumn/Winter Home catalogue yesterday and as is my habit turned straight to the children's bedlinen. I was really happy to find that on page 205 one of my designs is featured in the new collection.

The design is called 'Patch Kitten' and is based on an artwork I sold to Marks and Spencer last year. Once again they have done a lovely job of remaining faithful to my original artwork. The range includes a single bed linen set, a double bed linen set, curtains and a rug.

I am really pleased with how the design has turned out and now can't wait to see it in the flesh.

New Design in Marks and Spencer!

I unexpectedly came across one of my designs in Marks and Spencer today, it is so nice when that happens! They have turned one of my artworks in to tea towels for their new season kitchen collection.

I am so pleased to see this design in-store as it was one of my favourites and Marks and Spencer have been very true to the original artwork. It is a great example of how nicely embroidered and appliquéd designs can be translated in to print.
