The Making of Clover

Thinking of clover and daisies dotted through a grassy field, and the sound of bees evokes memories of warm summer days. The plant's unmistakable leaves and soft red and white petalled flowers, though small and insignificant, have a graphic quality when studied in detail, and I hope I've captured this in my fabric and wallpaper design for St Jude's, developed from an original wood engraving of the same name.

A few years ago, photographer Jeremy Phillips visited my former Edinburgh home to look at the making of my Clover design for Period Living magazine. Below are a few of Jeremy's photographs and some studio shots of the finished fabric and wallpaper.
