Hi, my name is Anni Downs and I am the designer behind the Hatched and Patched label. I have been designing in the Patchwork arena for over 20 years now.
I live in the country town of Bathurst, Australia where I have a shop (named the Home Patch) which is situated in an historic Inne .
For the past 8 years I have been designing fabric with Henry Glass Fabrics.
I love all things whimsical with my designs having a little bit of quirky thrown in. I love using different mediums such as wool, cottons and linens to create a little texture in my work.
With a lot of my designs I like to tell a story, sometimes with sayings, sometimes just with imagery.
I like low tonal value giving a slightly organic handmade look combining stitchery, piecing and applique.
