There are works in progress on the table once again in the form of hand embroidery, tapestry and vintage curtains. It is the culmination of 7 years collecting textiles from markets and shops.
My first experience of a proper flea market was when my in-laws took us to Brugge where I was faced with literally miles of table tops and open car boots displaying incredible patterns, textures and colours. I went crazy for braiding, embroidered tape and plaster Madonnas…and Leffe.
As we head towards Christmas 2012 I usually feel the need to invade my mum’s studio/hideaway. So the new winter collection of cushions for Delphina is being created, rural themed, colourful/larey, some embroidered others tapestry but each one made with a lot of thought and a great deal of love and attention.
