I had blue and pink cornflowers in my wedding bouquet. When we moved to the house it was early September, so the following spring I was keen to see what came up before planting too many new things. To my delight perennial cornflowers popped up in various places in the borders, and it&#8217;s these that I often sketch and paint.<\/p>\n<p>The other two types of flower in the design are Cosmos and stocks. The Cosmos was some I&#8217;d grown from seed and my greenhouse and transferred to the border when big enough to survive (our borders tend to be rampant and not for delicate tiny plants!) I love the fact that Cosmos looks so delicate but once going it thrives in the border.<\/p>\n<p>The stocks were a part of a bunch a close friend gave me &#8211; they were so pretty I Dres several of them whilst they lasted.<\/p>\n<p>Dunston is now available as fabric by the metre, cushions, aprons and tea towels. Available in our shop soon.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dunston.jpeg\" alt=\"Dunston curtain\" height=\"1280\" width=\"1280\" title=\"Dunston curtain\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dunston-Blind.jpeg\" alt=\"Dunston Blind\" height=\"1231\" width=\"1280\" title=\"Dunston Blind\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t<figcaption>Dunston Blind<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dunston-Cushions.jpeg\" alt=\"Dunston Cushions\" height=\"960\" width=\"1280\" title=\"Dunston Cushions\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t<figcaption>Dunston Cushions<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dunston-fabric-close-up.jpeg\" alt=\"Dunston fabric close up\" height=\"1280\" width=\"960\" title=\"Dunston fabric close up\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\n\t<\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dunston Dunston is named after our home in West Sussex, where we&#8217;ve lived for over 20 years.
