I really created my first bedding assortment a number of years in the past, however for youngsters, together with an natural bedding assortment for cribs. It was so enjoyable & colourful! I’ve at all times cherished the size of bedding. Whereas I haven’t made a bedding assortment for Jenny Pennywood simply but, I plan to sometime. Whether or not it’s bedding or in any other case, I LOVE something BIG with scale. Quilts & bedspreads are one other concept I toy with. My love for dimension & scale is the rationale I created Jenny Pennywood’s Material By The Yard Assortment.

This was the true begin for Jenny Pennywood Textiles & Patterns.
