25 years &

counting
Recently samples were resurrected from
Square - 4

an old shoe box unearthed from 1995. In

Mum’s inevitable style they were all
indexed with hand drawn as well as
original, now obsolete, computer patterns
(courtesy of Dad), alongside samples in
cotton and acrylic. In this unusual time
what better than to breathe a bit of life into
something forgotten. Barbara Mann, thank
you. Enjoy!
