THE WILD & WONDERFUL WORLD OF Tula Pink • From snakes coiled around flower stems, to dinosaurs emerging from topiaries and cats with striped and polka-dot coats – Tula Pink's unexpected and purely delightful fabric designs continue to capture our imagination and rock the fabric market, in all the right ways. We find out more about this wonderful designer's unique style and what makes her tick.

SPRING BLING QUILT • This quilt is made entirely from the current Tula Pink range, Untamed. The fabrics feature geometrics paired with floral prints: a chequer petal peony on a chequered background, a dahlia covered in polka dots, a houndstooth with dogwoods and pansies are just a few! There is also pigmented neon added to the petals and geometrics, which give the prints a magical glowing quality.

DOROTHY EMBROIDERY HOOP • No fuss, no perfection, just rustic folk art embroidery. This deliberately bold and chunky design is sure to add warmth to your decor.

Sugar Glider CROSS STITCH • This sweet little sugar glider is perched between leaps amid a profusion of native blooms.

It also includes a wrist strap for extra security and to provide a hands-free option.
