Anyone else hear Pat Albeck
on Desert Island Discs this morning? She has been creating designs since
1950 and more recently you will have seen her design Daisy Chain
recoloured, rescaled and reintroduced in John Lewis to celebrate their
150th anniversary. It graced tablecloths, curtains, bed linen and more,
and remained on
sale in their shops for over 20 years. You may have also seen Pat's work in National Trust shops on
packaging, tea towels and other accessories. What an inspirational woman
and still designing at 85! You can listen again to the program
here.

Hello Stephanie, I have a couple of really lovely Pat Albeck vintage t.ts. One of them of "The Great Kitchen" in Saltram Devon (a National Trust one from the 70's)
Here is the link to a post I wrote on Pat back in 2012 if you'd like a look-see:
