Upon retiring from dentistry,  I decided to turn my lifetime passion for craft-work and needlework into a new career. The acquisition of some new sewing machines and software for digitising images into embroidery designs has led me to specialise in bespoke embroidered cushions.

When asked to describe my work, I usually find myself responding “one of my embroidered cushions is a little like custom celebration cake.... but less calorific and it lasts a lot longer!"

My cushions can make perfect presents for any occasion - special birthdays, engagements, weddings, retirements, new babies, thank yous - almost any occasion for any age or gender. Often it can be difficult to think of a gift for a friend, relative or acquaintance and one of these cushions can provide a highly personal solution.

Sometimes my clients have no idea what to put on the cushion, however they quickly become immersed in the design process and suddenly the “problem” present becomes something which is a lot of fun!

Now, several years after hanging up my drill, I have completed many thousands of stitches on my various sewing machines and have a good range of examples for my gallery which I hope may give you inspiration when choosing your gift. If you see something here you already like or have a completely different idea in mind - get in touch to have a chat!
