And the Winner is............

As some of you will know I was shortlisted for Best Fabric Collection at the Northern Design Awards, 2010.   The other shortlisted companies were:

Best Fabric CollectionDesign Awards. The other shortlisted companies were:

• Gallery 22 for their Need’k fabric collection
• Montgomery for their Esquire collection
• James Hare Silks

We had a great night at the Grosvenor Hotel and Spa in Chester on Friday evening, starting with a champagne reception at 7pm, a wonderful meal from the Michelin Stared chef and the Awards Ceremony hosted by Nick Knowles of DIY SOS!

There were some wonderful winners in all the categories not least the Best Fabric Collection which was won by…..

Gallery 22 for their Need’k collection!

I’d like to congratulate Gallery 22 for being farsighted and retailing Need’k's wonderfully innovative collections.

I feel truly honoured to have been shortlisted with such wonderful manufacturing companies, since I am a designer maker hand weaving bespoke fabrics for my clients in my studio at home.  Needless to say, my designs are woven for my clients with just as much care, consideration and passion as the manufacturers and would like to feel that I provide a very high level of customer care, too.

Take a look at my shortlisted collection and if you are interested in my textiles you might like to look at my website, Alison Yule Textiles.  Please keep looking at my website over the next few weeks, it’s being radically updated and will have a small retail area where you will be able to by some one off pieces.

Shortlisted for Northern Design Awards!

I've been shortlisted for Best Fabric Collection in the Northern Design Awards where Concept For Living magazine will bring together designers, retailers and property developers in a glittering celebration of the best in northern design, architecture and craftsmanship.

I'm delighted to have the opportunity to display my unique hand-woven products again, which include wall panels, cushions and window hangings in wool and linen.  Every single piece is hand woven using richly textured techniques with simple, effective designs and hope they will catch the eye of judges at the event, which will be held at Grosvenor Hotel and Spa, Chester, on Friday 8 October, 2010
