I have been doing patchwork since 2007 and have in the past 2 years started making personalised gifts for friends that has led to creating gifts to order. Cushions, bags and bunting can be personalised with names, dates etc., for weddings, births or even advertising for your business. I love creating and putting colours together to create something original that will hopefully be loved by the eventual owner!

A long awaited gift for a friends grandson..........
Although I had finished this several weeks ago I had not posted up the picture! I had coordinated a baby blue version of the boat cushion for Nathaniel who was born in March? I had kept putting it to one side while setting up my hut so took a lot longer to complete than usual, I am hoping it is a gift worth the wait!..............
Baby Leo.........
A request from my friend Marie for a cushion as a keepsake for a little boy recently born......"Leo Philip", a new nephew. Marie had liked the navy nautical fabric so have made another version with my own design boat complete with buttons and a small Union Jack flag flying..........
Whitstable keepsake........
As the beach hut cushion went last weekend I have made a small nautical boat version in smart navy with a spot of red!..........

Wedding Butterfly..............
Pinkie/Lilac with butterflies was the request for this cushion for Diane's son and daughter-in-law to be, who are getting married tomorrow in Canterbury. I picked out the 2 toning patterns of flowers to make the butterfly then added the small spotty mauve and found this lovely cream with pink flowers for the border. The embroidery was also done in pink, as all girls love Pink!............I hope they have a lovely day and this will be a keepsake to remember it by...
