So, just over a week ago we took a little trip down South and came home with the new collection Enchanted - Forest by Phyllida Coroneo for Dashwood Studio - a new UK based textile design company, based in the UK, yes, that's right, UK BASED! Very exciting. And it's a double winner that the first collection is absolutely gorgeous!
The company's Creative Director, David Sweet has bundles of experience and knowledge around this field, most recently, he was the Creative Director of P&B Textiles in the US. But now he's showing what the UK can do. And boy, looks like they can do it rather well!
Enchanted Forest is inspired by 'Phyllida’s colour palettes and bohemian florals are influenced by her love of interiors and fashion styling, photography, culture and the British Landscape.‘The Enchanted Forest’ Collection was inspired by childhood memories of the Somerset Countryside and the magical series of ‘The Faraway Tree’ books by Enid Blyton'
We have completely fallen in love with this collection and couldn't resist a little make of our own. So here's Jo's mini quilt. And if you check out Phyllida's blog, you can see some other gorgeous makes using this collection.
The next collection is Petite Street by Wendy Kendall, which, guess what, is utterly stunning too. This collection is due in August and we cannot wait to get out hand on them!
It's brilliant that Dashwood Studio has offered a platform so the talent of British designers can be shared across the quilting and home-sewing communities.
We cannot wait to see what comes next from Dashwood Studio, I have an inkling its going to be good.
