Handmade Spots 
Welcome to gillian bates' store
I'm a professional designer-maker living in the UK specialising in contemporary embroidered textiles. I produce contemporary textile art in the form of wall-hung canvases.
All of my handmade canvases are entirely unique and are created using the pick of my reclaimed and vintage fabrics
With levels of care and attention that only come from focused obsession, I work in a fantastically wide range of canvas sizes and colours to produce art that I hope you will find both engaging and pleasing.
In addition to textile canvases I also produce a range of other contemporary textile products that make great gifts for those nearest and dearest to you. My quirky and colourful textile postcards are particularly popular – the debut collection having completely sold out.
