Mandy Shaw is one of Britain’s most talented and respected sewing and quilt designers with a worldwide reputation for her work. Passionate about sewing and quilting for as long as she can remember Mandy started her business, Dandelion Designs, in 2004 as a way of making a little money whilst brining up her young kids at home. Little did she know what it would grow into.
As well as being a prolific designer, Mandy loves to teach and demonstrate and (when allowed) will regularly attend shows like Festival of Quilts in the UK and Quilt Market in the USA. She is the author of over 12 bestselling books including Stitch with Love, Simply Redwork and The Christmas Table. In total her books have sold over 150,000 copies worldwide and have been publishing in six different languages.
A great collector of things, Mandy draws inspiration from vintage books and paraphernalia. Her desire is for everything she designs to tell a story and be meaningful and over the years, she has developed a unique folk art style all of her own and is drawn to a red and white colour palette for which she has become famous!
Mandy runs Dandelion Designs from the bottom of her garden in a wooden chalet built for her by her husband Phil specially to house her business and her workshop.
