2016 Trimmings Challenge JUDGE: Petalplum

Ellie Beck first caught our eye online with her dreamy photos and eye for natural beauty. Looking at her photographs takes you to another place of calm and tranquility, a little moment in time, capturing the sun, her children and sweet creations in the soft dappled light. Ellie & her family live a creative and inspiring life in the rainforest of NSW where they enjoy the simple moments, the abundance of nature and the surroundings; the slow life they have built. We are all so lucky to be able to share the most beautiful way Ellie cherishes her work & family via her Instagram.

You can also hang out with Ellie (yes you can!) at one of her creative workshops, teaching natural dye, slow stitching and more- she has some coming up in June at The Craft Parlour in Palm Beach, Queensland.

Also, check out the stunning handcrafted jewellery & homewares made from recycled skateboards by Ellie's husband Sam at Deadwood Creative - a fascinating re-use of materials.

We are delighted to have Ellie of Petalplum help choose this years winning 2016 Umbrella Prints Trimmings Challenge Quilt, thank you for joining in with our vibrant and creative community xx
