Pretty Flours

Pretty Flours One-of-a-kind, hand-printed dish towels and home accessories. Individually printed using hand-carved stamps and fabric paints on natural fiber textiles.

The design of each of my towels and table linens is inspired by nature and by my verve for color. I appreciate functional objects representative of good design. Each item is unique - individually printed using a process that begins with carving my drawings onto a pliable rubber surface and mount it on wood to create a stamp. To make a towel, pillow or textile, I hand paint the stamp again and agai

n to create printed impressions that mirror gardens, both real and imagined. The fabrics I print on are always made of natural fibers. Quality is extremely important to me, so the textiles used are mostly produced by small sewers. As such, sizes vary slightly from item to item. Fabric paint colors are hand-mixed to my liking. The paints are eco-friendly, food safe and heat set, to withstand healthy and rigorous use, as well as repeated washing.

Forty two years, three grown kids and three little grandkids, a move to Maine, building our own businesses, and so many adventures later and here we still are - loving each other through all of it. Let’s keep going, eh?

Trying something different. Wasn’t sure I’d enjoy embroidery, but the process of learning simple stitches and designing randomly and with no real goal in mind is actually quite satisfying. Therapeutic and meditative.

The 2027 Lunar Calendars are ready and will go live on my website at noon on Monday, July 27. These are individually printed as a limited edition with a new block print each year. This year: Cherry Blossoms by the light of the silvery moon.
These make great holiday gifts. If you are a collector of my yearly Lunar Calendars, order soon. Last year, they sold out fast.
