Vicky Yorke Designs

I am so excited to finally share with you some big news that I’ve been keeping secret since the summer…! My debut fabric collection, ‘From London with ❤️’ has now launched on the website of my amazing new licensing partner, Camelot Fabrics . I have dreamed of designing my own fabric collection for as long as I can remember and so to have my designs available for crafters, sewers and quilters through such an amazing fabric company as Camelot really is a dream come true! ‘From London with ❤️’ depicts popular motifs and landmarks from the UK capital city all drawn in my colourful and whimsical style.  Camelot say:  " Vicky Yorke’s debut collection is packed with charmingly British images: double decker buses, London landmarks and whimsical umbrellas. Brilliant!"   T he collection will be available in stores from July 2018, but you can a sk your local  quilt shop to place orders now. View the whole collection here ....

This is a great site where artists / designers pay a fee to host their portfolios in a completely private way. (We have to be soooo careful about posting too much publicly online as things sadly do get stolen). Art directors can sign up for free and I can then connect and share my work with any company that I feel might be a good fit for my brand. I love the fact that I have complete control over who can view my work. My portfolio is obviously also hosted by my agents, Jewel Branding , but this is an excellent additional way to strike up new art licensing relationships. The above image shows my thumbnail from the site and is all images from my 'Tea Party' collection. If you haven't discovered Art Licensing Show yet you can find out more about how it works here. Another great aspect of the site is the other artist connections I've made. Everyon...

It's been great to hear from my agents, Jewel Branding , that the summer shows at Surtex, New York and Licensing Expo, Las Vegas were a resounding success with lots of exciting companies visiting the stand and many of them choosing to view my portfolio with the possibility of becoming licensing partners in the near future! Jewel have kindly shared with me some photos of their booths, which I'm sure you'll agree looked absolutely fantastic! First, are some images of the booth at Surtex, where each of the Jewel designers were asked to format their designs into hexagons, which were then used to create a really striking stand display. How many of my designs can you spot in the photos below?! And below are images of the stand at Licensing Expo, where some of my designs were shown on large digital display screens.   If you missed the shows, but would like to view my full portfolio please contact Beth Franklin - beth@jewe...
