About

I design and make abstract applique quilts using self-taught traditional hand stitching techniques. My considered designs are windows of imagery chopped and assembled from films, books, nature, painting, everyday life, and have an early C20th Modernist flavour with a bit of whimsy and folk thrown in, especially when designing for children.

I source deadstock, upcycled and remnant natural fibres where possible, often dyeing and painting in small batches. I keep my off-cuts in colour coded boxes and use these as my palette.

Works are available in occasional collections in my shop online and from select stockists across the world. I often work directly with clients and interior designers making pieces to order, bespoke to a space or special project. I have recently completed work for Phoebe Hollond, Christopher Farr Cloth, Studio Peake, House of Grey, and Beata Heuman,

I made a large quilt for the window scheme Summer Awakening at Selfridges, Oxford Street, August-October 2021 and showed four new quilts in a group show Sensational Beings Collection 02 for FELT in May 2022 and again in June 2023.

A large part of 2023 was spent making 9 large quilts for Christopher Farr Cloth, each designed by a different design luminary including Noz Nozawa, Atelier Ace, Frank di Biasi, Martin Brudnizki and Kit Kemp. These were displayed at Nantucket by Design, USA in August 2023.

My works have been featured in recent issues of House & Garden magazine, World of Interiors, Elle Decoration UK and Architectural Digest India as well as online interiors and design journals.

I’m currently working on some exciting textiles for interiors projects by Studio Peake and Buchanan Studio.

I work from my home studio in Yorkshire, UK
