I am always ridiculously happy when our home is featured in a magazine and I can't imagine ever being blase about such a fun experience. I love our home, of course, but it is very normal; we are not wealthy, we do not have any builders, architects or interior designers in the family (sadly) and so everything we've done we've either done ourselves, or on a tight budget with a lot of hard work and saving up first. I always love it when magazines feature homes that real people can actually afford to live in.
Publications include:
Home Style in November 2018
Home Style in November 2018
Mollie Makes in June 2018
Our previous home in Leeds was featured in Style At Home in August 2014.

Hi, I really like your spring, summer, autumn and winter embroidery in the circular frame. How can I get the pattern? I would like to make them.
ReplyDeleteHi there, and thank you. I'm afraid there isn't really a pattern as such. Some elements of the embroideries, particularly in the Autumn hoop, were taken from a pattern in an old edition of Mollie Makes (number 22). But the additional details and idea to sew one for each season was mine. I drew the patterns freehand onto the linen with a fading ink pen then stitched over them so it is quite easy to recreate, but if you could get your hands on issue 22 of Mollie Makes that would help you a lot.
