Tell me more about Natalie

Hello!

I’m Natalie Lymer -  Mamma of two, fabric & pattern designer, author & illustrator behind the Cinderberry Stitches creations.  While growing up I was often found capturing and drawing the ideas that filled my mind in little sketchbooks and loose paper.

 

It's been almost ten years since I began combining my unique drawings with stitches & fabric, from that point on my days have been full of sketching, designing & dreaming big - my imagination and design inspiration coming from childhood memories, my children and simple ‘everyday things’ around our home.

 

I've worked with Lecien to bring my first two fabric collections Woodland and Folktale to life and am now beyond thrilled to be working alongside the amazing team at Riley Blake Designs to create my future collections!

 

My next fabric line - 'Enchant' is due to arrive in stores in September 2013 and I am currently working on further design submissions for 2013/2014 and beyond.....exciting stuff indeed.

Now I would love to tell you I have a fabulous story behind my business name but alas, I would be making it up – ‘Cinderberry’ was just a word that appeared from my imagination just like those sketches that come from my pencil, I liked it & here we are.

You can often find me writing about my latest creation or just regular life in the Cinderberry home at www.cinderberrystitches.typepad.com or over (more often) at our Facebook page so please drop by and say hello!

Remember, shut your eyes & see

Natalie x

Bonjour,
J'aime beaucoup ce que vous faites.
Vos tissus sont très beaux et vos réalisations en broderies ravissantes.
Je suis dans un club de patchwork dans les Landes (à côté d'Hossegor - sud-ouest) en France
Où puis-je trouver un livre avec vos modèles.
Merci de me renseigner
Cordialement
Martine

Hi
I wonder that you scratch pencil drawings.
Or if you use carbon.
I love doing her embroidery, but I have a big problem to trace the pattern.
Can you tell me the name of the material to scratch the tissues?
Whenever I finish my embroidery, the fabric is all stained or carbon pencil that I use and I have to wash it.
Thanks
Andrea

I live in the United States and would like to purchase your Raspberry Cream and Sublime Seasons quilt patterns but am unable to locate a source on the internet. Would you please advise where these patterns can be purchased in the U.S. Thank you - Dona Henderson

I would like to purchase the pattern Tiny Tote. But I am unable to find it online in United States Shops. Help! Could you email me with a way for me to purchase this cute pattern?

Natalie, Your stitchery inspires me. I am hoping that Sweet Home Quilt co. Conyers, GA, Is doing your BOM Tail Feathers. What fabric line is this BOM? Do you know who will be handling this BOM in the USA? So Cute! What size needle do you use? I check your blog every day. You and Anne Sutton are my favorites! Blessings to you. Please keep designing. Hugs. Sheila

Before she died, my mother did all my embroidery work. Her work was so beautiful that the back looked as good as the front. I entered her work in many county fairs and she loved getting all those first place ribbons.

Now that she is gone, I have to do my own embroidery and your blog is an inspiration to me. I enjoy sitting down in a quiet room and stitching away. My mind drifts and wanders away thinking of how much I miss my mother but am pleased that she taught me how to do my own stitching. It may never look as good as hers or yours, but I enjoy the process.

To end this very long comment, I wanted you to know how much I enjoy your blog.

I love your patterns and your needlework. What kind of threads do you use when doing your embroidery? I love the variegated colours and wondered what brand and where you get them. Thanks, Tammy
