Buttercup bedding

I recently designed this fabulous summery buttercup print for my Spoonflower shop. It consist of hand-drawn silhouette florals on a yellow background and makes a great print for the home. I especially love the bedding options.


The buttercup duvet cover comes in three sizes and is a great way of adding pattern to the bedroom. it is made from a soft cotton sateen fabric.


The buttercup sheet set is available in six sizes and is great for adding pattern to the bed in a more subtle way. Pair it with a crisp yellow or white duvet cover.


There are also buttercup pillow shams that can be bought separately in three different sizes and are another way of adding colour to a bedroom.

Kindred

 I recently designed this collection called Kindred for Makower UK. Rooted in Celtic imagery, it celebrates kinship and heritage through enduring symbols and ancient forms, such as interwoven knots, illuminated type, mini thistles and softly coloured clover. It uses a deep, muted colour palette of earthy tones softened by time, suggesting heritage and a deep connection to ancestry.


The main print is called Legend and comes in three colour choices. It includes many Celtic images such as decorative knots, illuminated type and heraldry. There is a soft tonal print in the background.


I love this illuminated type design which is called Script. Each letter has been carefully considered, using scrolls and pattern infill to elevate them.


This wouldn't be a Celtic collection without a clover design. This one is quite small in scale and is softly coloured in a moss green. Look closer and you will see that it has a gentle layering to it too.


I love this mini thistle design which is coloured on a soft blue background. It's also available in a purple background and a beige background.


Scrolls are very popular in Celtic design and this scroll design makes a great allover print. It's perfect for using as a backing for a quilt or as a lining for a bag.


Art Nouveau-inspired images were also great for this collection so I included a stylised lily design.


Heraldry was a strong influence for this foulard design, a regimented layout which comes in shades of purple, blue and cream. It's also available in rusts and greens.


Stripe designs are great for using as a binding on a quilt or for handles to a bag. This stripe design includes many Celtic motifs such as clovers and decorative knots.


And finally, a Celtic knot design! This one is on a soft green background and includes a wide variety of decorative knots in shades of green, purple and blue.

The Nutcracker

Here's a little taster of what I designed for Makower Christmas 2026. It's called The Nutcracker and is inspired by the nutcracker ballet, using a sweet stylised look.


The main print is called Fairytale and I've included the sugar plum fairy, various nutcrackers as well as the mouse king, mixed with Christmas trees, gingerbread men, foliage and musical instruments.


The Soldiers design looks great on a deep red background and stylised Foliage elements look great on a dark green background.


The collection has a folkloric style to it and the Sugar plum design incorporates all sorts of elements, such as rocking horses and Christmas trees, in a tightly packed layout.


The Fairytale design looks great on this dark blue background.


A Candy Cane Stripe adds an extra co-ordinating print to the group.


The colour combo of this Sugar Plum design shouts Christmas with its vibrant reds and deep greens.


A tiny tonal star is a nice colour carrier and great for using in Christmas projects as a backing to a quilt or binding for placemats.


The nutcracker Soldiers stand to attention on the cream background.


Green stars complement the red version and are another way of adding colour to the collection.


I also designed an advent calendar for this collection. The central image uses motifs from the collection in a folk, mirrored style


This advent is a great Christmas project. The pockets must be cut out individually and sewn around the central image. They can then be filled with chocolates and sweets.

Deep blue sea

 I recently created a collection of Makower UK called Deep Blue Sea which included fun sea creatures in a bright colour palette. 

Within the collection was a panel design that consists of eight different ten inch images that are great for using to make cushion covers, tote bags or quilts with. I took creatures from the main design and used them in a circular shape surrounded by sea life such as seaweed and fish.


These are some of my favourite images. The seal has a happy smile and drifts through brightly-coloured sea life.


The turtle image was also used in one of the allover prints for this collection.


I couldn't resist adding an octopus and made him a pretty pink colour.

Pot plant paradise

Pot plants are the perfect addition to the home and I created this print for my Spoonflower shop, with the idea that it would be used on home decor such as bedding.


The pot plant print includes cheese plants, ferns and yuccas in various shapes and sizes. Each has a coloured pot and would make a great gift for a green fingered friend.


The print is perfect print for a duvet cover. This one comes in three sizes and is made from a cotton sateen fabric.


This stylised leaf print is a perfect co-ordinating print with the duvet cover. It's clean and fresh and adds a nice touch to the bedroom.


This sheet set comes in five sizes and includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillow cases.

Charmed

 I recently designed this collection for Makower UK. It's called 'Charmed' and includes black cats and celestial images in a pleasing colour palette of purples, lilacs and teals.


The main print has black cats in a variety of poses, mixed with moons, stars and suns as well as the odd butterfly and scroll design. It includes metallic gold elements to give it a bit of bling.


This crowded foliage print is a great colour carrier and I combined lilac and cream leaves in with the teal background.


Mini black cats stretch and strut on this allover print. The scroll background adds an extra element of decoration. This print also has metallic gold.


Pretty star print on a purple background.


A melange of moons, stars and other celestial images on a lilac background.


The main print also looks great on a black background.


And the cat design looks great on a purple background.


Who could resist this stunning foliage print on black?


A scroll design is a great inclusion to this collection.


It wouldn't be a celestial print without stars on a black background. This one looks extra blingy with the gold metallic detailing.
