Inspired by London and the River Thames, my hand quilted cushions explore the relationship between place, memory and the quiet beauty of everyday materials. Naturally dyed cloth provides a subtle, considered palette, while layers of hand quilting create a richly textured surface.
Made slowly and thoughtfully using traditional hand quilting techniques, each piece celebrates the heritage of making while embracing a contemporary aesthetic creating an individual work that carries the story of the making processes.
Designed to be lived with and treasured, these cushions sit beautifully in contemporary interiors, bringing warmth, texture and a story to your space.
Created for Crafted Futures, Design-Nation’s exhibition at the OXO Tower during London Design Festival 2026, each cushion is a unique piece of functional textile art.
