Welcomes to my web site and my new Meadow Collection.

I initially trained as a nurse and a teacher before marrying Nicholas, an architect, and having four children. Together we converted a cow byre in the Cotswolds. Since we couldn't afford ssscurtains, I had to create my own fabrics. I found screen printing and block printing liberating and enriching and, to my surprise, friends started using the designs in their own homes. Seven years on my enthusiasm for designing fabric burns stronger than ever and I just hope that people continue to humour and fund my passion!

The Cotswold countryside is the setting for my life and it hugely influences the look of my fabrics. The developing fashion in interior design is towards simple patterns which reflect a basic and rustic way of living and I have been hugely fortunate that this mirrors my life and, thus, my designs.

There are seven collections: Meadow, Earth, Cockerel, Wildflower, Seaside, Garden, Woodland, and Sky.

Gentle colours are my signature and included buttercup, limestone, clay, damson, duck egg, stone, raspberry, mushroom, cornflower, straw and lettuce.

The fabrics are perfect for loose covers for chairs and sofas, upholstery, curtains and blinds, bed heads, valances, cushions and tablecloths.

The collections compliment each other by sharing colours and include useful co-ordinates such as checks, stripes, spots, and floral prints.

The fabrics are produced in the UK and are printed on Linen Union and 100% cotton and some designs are available on oilcloth, wallpaper and floor rugs. We are moving towards using only organic cotton in order to protect the cotton pickers from harmful pesticides. We are constantly trying to find ‘greener’ ways to run our business.
