Hello everyone,  I thought I'd take some time to say hello to my fellow members of The Little White book of Surface Pattern Designers and to those of you that visit the blog.

I'm a textile designer with a love of all things pattern rich and colourful!  I trained at Winchester School of Art as a Textile designer, I now live in the West Midlands, freelancing from the converted barn I live in.  I specialised in Hand-Printed textiles, and am still printing my own designs onto textiles and wall art under the name Beetroot Press.

I've been freelancing for the last year and a bit, along with designing for the Childrenswear design studio Lemon Ribbon, in areas such as Kids fashion and home for boys and girls, knitwear pattern, stationary, giftware, 3D visualising for home and gifts, colour work, vintage swatch reworks and ipad/kindle cases.  I am happy to take on new areas, as love a different challenge.

Introduction: JLW Illustration

Hello, My turn to introduce myself, I'm Jennie, a Leeds based Illustrator/Designer and mother to 3 (soon to be 4) amazingly inspiring children. 

Its taken me a while to gather the time to write a blog post about myself, Simply because I have had a pretty hectic start to 2013, but a great one never-the-less. 

I'd like to share a few designs that I have created recently, for various things, but it will give you an idea as to the 'type' of designer that I am. 

I LOVE a good geometric, and am partial to the odd flower pattern, or two (or 20), but here are some different designs that I have had the pleasure of creating recently..

This next one was for a Spoonflower Competition (currently still running here), and will be available to purchase as fabric shortly. I will also be using it to create a few little things for my soon-to-be-born son. 

I cannot wait.

And here is where I am at my most comfortable, designing patterns with  florals and geometrics.
