About Pear and Pavilion

Hello lovely stitchers and makers, welcome 💛

I’m so happy you’re here. This whole business has been a true stitching journey, from tiny beginnings at my kitchen table, to now having my own website and Etsy home.

Pear & Pavilion officially launched in 2020 (yes – that infamous lockdown era). I think a lot of us turned back towards making again then, I definitely did, and the crafting business I’d been quietly dreaming about for nearly 20 years finally got stitched into reality.

After years in London working in graphic design, I now live in rural Somerset – slower, greener, calmer… and instead of a packed commute, I get to spend mornings and evenings actually stitching… while dreaming up new tapestry designs and delicious colour palettes.

Thank you for being here – and happy stitching!
