The Designer behind the Designs

A Designer's Eye for Detail

My background in architectural and interior design has shaped the way I approach cross stitch. I'm drawn to interesting subjects, thoughtful composition and the interplay of colour and detail.

Each pattern begins with a subject that captures my imagination and develops into a design that I hope will be as enjoyable to stitch as it is to display.

Cross stitch offers a welcome opportunity to slow down, focus and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something beautiful, one stitch at a time.

At Dancing Zebras, I create original patterns inspired by history, architecture and distinctive subjects that capture my imagination.
