The American Dream Collection

The American Dream Collection

As it sounds, our American Dream Collection is full of favorite American images – like the stars and stripes. We have found different ways of using them – whether it’s a single star hand embroidered on a background of stripes or a scattering of appliqué stars on a plain fabric, or the whole flag contained within a heart. The idea is to use the designs in a fun, patriotic way.

The Pop Art Collection

The Pop Art Collection

Still stitched in the traditional style using appliqué, cross stitch and blanket stitch, our Pop Art Collection is very striking, very decorative and very now.

It manages to evoke memories of the swinging sixties in a quirky, updated way, with a range of iconic images that appeal to most people’s sense of fun. This Collection constantly moves with the times and aims to reflect the look of ‘today’.

The Green Pop Art Collection

The Green Pop Art Collection

There has never been a better time to go green in your life!

Choose one of our pure wool pillows that combine zingy lime greens with creams and reds to give a fresh, modern look. Our jazzy multi-stripe pieces compliment them perfectly and would likewise team effectively with any of the plain colors depicted in the striped design.

The Botanical Collection

The Botanical Collection

The Botanical Collection features Jan's personal favorite flowers from the English country garden, some of them embellished with beautiful French knots. Wild strawberries and exquisite flowers like the lily, orchid and cabbage rose feature in this beautiful Collection.

These intricately hand embroidered pieces will stand the test of time and become highly collectible and exquisite heirlooms of the future.

The Love and Peace Collection

The Love and Peace Collection

The Love and Peace Collection is a fresh new range, designed with a hint of romance in the shape of classic hearts or the words 'love' or 'peace' skilfully embroidered or appliquéd onto cotton/linen, wool or velvet backgrounds. Other evocative emblems like cherubs and doves also feature.

This Collection is perfect for those looking to visibly show a loved one just how much they are appreciated - whether a husband or wife, mother or daughter or a cherished friend - everyone wants to be loved!

The Country Garden Collection

The Country Garden Collection

Inspired by the old hand embroideries worked by Jan's grandmother and great aunts between 1930 and 1950. It is a tribute to the last great movement in British hand embroidery. Some of the stitches on show include leaf, stem, daisy and buttonhole.

This Collection features the most traditional of all Jan’s designs, but they would sit happily in any style of home as beautiful and valued pieces.

The Seaside Collection

The Seaside Collection

The distinctive Seaside Collection was designed during happy holidays at the Constantine family's Cornish fisherman's cottage.

These nostalgic and charming pieces often entice our customers back for more. You don’t have to live beside the seaside to appreciate these classic images and the cheerful designs would brighten up any interior.

The Bees and Bugs Collection

The Bees and Bugs Collection

Inspired by a love of nature and reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement a century ago, these beautiful winged creatures, which adorn our fabrics and accessories, have now established themselves as timeless favorites amongst our customers.

From dragonflies to butterflies, these carefully embroidered designs add character and a touch of whimsy to our lives.

The Classic Collection

The Classic Collection

This collection features our interpretation of well loved traditional designs like the classic Chinese willow pattern. More usually seen on chinaware, we have reproduced this in a number of attractive colors. Another classic staple is our ticking design with red stripes on a cream background.

More recent additions are our favorite flower designs hand embroidered onto sumptuous dupion silk pillows.

The Modern Gingham Collection

The Modern Gingham Collection

Our Modern Gingham Collection combines traditional gingham fabric in a variety of exciting colors with funky modern appliqué designs. Many of our iconic images that work so well on plain fabrics are given a new and unexpected twist with a gingham background.

You can also buy our fabric by the meter to create your own version of our designs or create something totally new!

The British Collection

The British Collection

Patriotic designs taken from the English, Welsh and Scottish national themes are included in this Collection, which unashamedly flies the flag for Britain. Jan’s favorite design to-date is the British Isles map, which was inspired by old wartime embroideries, and also features in this collection.

The Luxurious Velvets Collection

The Luxurious Velvets Collection

As the name suggests, this collection has pieces made from beautifully luxurious velvets. Tactile and gorgeous, the hand embroidered designs are subtle and elegant and would provide a touch of sophistication in any home. The colors in this Collection are more neutral and would suit rooms where understated elegance is the keynote.

The Festive Collection

The Festive Collection

For the Christmas festival, as a tribute to this magical time, we have continued our signature theme of embroidered hearts. To compliment them we have included some new wool designs with embroidered snowflakes and appliqué cherubs and reindeer.

Whatever the design, our pieces will surely be a welcome addition to your festive decorating ideas.

The I Love London Collection

The I Love London Collection

My new ‘I Love London’ Collection celebrates all that is vibrant and fun-loving
about our capital city. For my designs, I have chosen some typically traditional icons – like the London taxi cab, red double-decker bus, and palace guards. Mixed with my favorite fancy lettering and Union Jack motifs – these designs also represent my nod to London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. Everyone is already getting excited at the thought and here is one way you can celebrate at home!

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Collection

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Collection
