Tuesday Talent - Nancy Nicholson

 Nancy Nicholson is well loved in my family, my Aunty Irene likes to work her embroidery kits and my Mum collects her cards.  I just really enjoy her colours and stitch craft.

Nancy specialised in textiles for her masters degree but originally trained in graphic design. The combination shows in her elegant work, strong lines and colours coupled with excellent stitch use.

She sells her beautiful stationary and embroidery kits from her shop on the website 'nancynicholson.co.uk' and her Etsy shop.  Her blog is at 'nancynicholson.blogspot.co.uk'.  She keeps her blog up to date and it is full of all kinds of different embroidery and craft ideas with free patterns to boot.  She has a strong Pinterest presence with her colours and folk art style being really appealing.  For me, her birds are really striking, I love the stitch use and get alot from looking at her designs for inspiration.  However, if birds are really not your thing she has eccentric tea pots and a very cheeky cat - there are also downloadable designs on Etsy for different craft projects.

Have a look at her world and you will appreciate her unique design style and wonderful colour use.
