Liz Foster Designs
I’m delighted to be taking part in the first ‘Yorkshire Best’ fair. The
ladies from Now and Then Events have asked for some guest bloggers to chat about their
work, so never one to miss an opportunity for a bit of publicity here I am.
I’d be the first to admit that this cushion business all came about as a
bit of an accident. I trained as a painter at Art School and I also worked as
an art teacher for 10 years. Then I had a baby. I decided I wanted to work from
home and work for myself, so I became a sole trader and Liz Foster Design was
created. I made my first cushion for my son and sold a few name cushions
online...then I sold some at my friend’s gallery in Whitby and started
producing more distinctive, designs. I am obsessed with quality, both in the
fabrics I use and the construction of each piece. I line my cushions, which is
not the industry norm, but I know it makes them look better hold their shape
and last that bit longer. I use silk, wool line and cotton, I hand cut each
appliqué letter carefully machine sew them, and each design is my own creative
work. It’s really a simple formula and
my customers seem to like it.
