MAGGIE MAGOO DESIGNS

Carole, aka Maggie Magoo Designs, creates contemporary artwork inspired by the natural world, folk art and mid-century design. Plants, flowers and insects feature throughout. Autumn, with all its glorious colours, is Carole’s favourite season, so she was especially happy to be asked to contribute to this issue of Love Embroidery. As much of Carole’s art is designed digitally, the slow pace of embroidery a relaxing contrast. Find Carole’s designs at www.maggiemagoodesigns.etsy.com
