Patchwork cushions



Ends of fabric rolls have been encroaching the corners of the studio and getting underfoot, so we've laid out these small yards of linen, cotton and damask to be used for patchwork cushions and quilts.



Close to our heart is the task of cherishing any piece of fabric possible, offcuts, remnants, samples and backing cloths have all found their way back into the day's design work. So often designs and new colour ways begin with some chance beauty found at the overlap of a print or the little stacks of edges left after cutting patterns.



Jeannette Mayne, began with Spacecraft years ago working her patch-working wonders into our studio offcuts to make the patchwork cushion one of our favourite objects.

Beginning a Studio Blog.


Well here we go! Decided to start by posting quite a few projects over the next couple of days. That should get us up to speed with what's happening at the studio. Then just the one highlight from each day.

The month of May saw the studio busy with art projects; Civil Twilight End reached an important milestone, Jon Campbell and Brook Andrew in the studio for major projects, and the MCG residency moves up a gear.
