Tiles and Patches











I have always loved this coffee table which came from my Grandad, part of the business where he worked sold tiles and they had this table made up in the fifties to show the different designs.
Unfortunately I had it in various student flats and it didn't fair to well! It is a bit cracked and broken but I still love it.
The table has inspired me to do these patchwork tile cushions - I have now been commissioned to create a patchwork bed head - I have laid out the patches to fit a wooden frame 72" x 18".
