Comfort & Joy
Hi, I’m Amelia and I’m passionate about textiles and Animal Charities. I have combined these interests in my "Comfort and Joy" lockdown project. I’ve been producing these cushions using salvaged cross stitch designs, from Charity shops and Ebay. I have reframed them in alluring colourful mixed textiles and silks which are irresistibly tactile and beautiful.
My second Collection is using patchwork techniques to use up wonderful scraps of colourful silks . Many are off cuts from Van Buck an exclusive UK based manufacturer of high quality silk products.
I am an experienced, professional seamstress and have loving paid attention to detail, constructing these unique, one off pieces with the care they deserve. This serves to really highlight the talent, skill, time and effort taken by those who embroidered the exquisite original work. Where possible I have credited the original stitcher.
The combination of colours, patterns and textures updates these textile heirlooms, giving them a new lease of life. With so many designs to choose from it’s easy to see why people think they make thoughtful, unique gifts; bringing comfort and joy to your loved ones and the animals that the profits from my project are supporting.
Exclusively sourced, handmade and sold in the UK.
