Antique embroidery pieces being created to be framed

I am working on freelance print designs at the moment for my agent in NY.

Botanicals and dark romantic florals for AW are top of my list to create.

I wanted to share one of my major inspirations of the moment with you-

BLOOM magazine.

Every issue is full of the most wonderful, inspiring images.

I use them for colour stories

Where do you get your inspiration from?

Happy Monday

Sometimes, just sometimes, you come across something so beautiful on Ebay that you have to purchase it.

This stunning french silk bedspread arrived in the studio this week.

Sadly the silk is very damaged, and though i intended to have it on our bed, i do not think it will survive.

So, instead I am going to frame the large embroidery in the middle.

However, I need to bring myself to cut it first!!

Not sure if i can.....

Happy weekend

My love of antique samplers is a life long affair.

I have a vast collection of them, decorating our bedroom wall.

I have now turned my love of them to feature in Sesame and Lilly's products.

I am starting to produce digitally printed cushions featuring my favourite antique samplers.

Pretty vintage sewing cases have been added to the shop

Happy Friday!
