As a pattern designer, Gail gets to sew lots of samples, so it’s just as well that she enjoys making them. She specializes in small 3D objects such as sewing kits and cushions but there are some quilts too.
Also, she is particularly good at adding appealing detail in her stitching and embellishment. Gail feels there is always room for a button or two or more. Her most recent patterns feature the 3D hedgehogs, sunflowers and Christmas wreaths, all of which are made from felt as this doesn’t fray and gives nice texture.
