I began working in textiles about five years ago and started with a gonzo form of hanging quilts which I made from recycled materials.
These were admired as unusual but Annabeth Orton suggested that they that they would be more popular if they had a practical application. So I added pockets, pen holders and other accessories such as bulldog clips and called it my “Stuff Stash”.
Annabeth recently sent me a picture of her Stuff Stash which is getting good use in her kitchen.
These did, indeed, sell and I produced a number of them, each quite distinct. However, my other products, shoulder bags and aprons, were developing their own style and I decided a couple of years ago to redesign the Stuff Stash in line with them.
I heard recently that the prestigious Stampington would be featuring the above version of the Stuff Stash in the Summer edition of their Sew Somerset magazine.
