    2.13. Hand Embroiedered Bed and Table Linen - with Gayle Warwick

    Fiona is joined by the fabulous Gayle Warwick, founder of the London based hand embroidered bed and table linen brand that is made to last, and made to treasure.  Launching her brand from her kitchen table in London in 1998, after falling in love with the craftsmanship of a hand embroidered table cloth, Gayle has since strived to make beautiful linen to last and to adore. Fully customisable, fully personalisable, linen and soft furnishings make a house a home, and Gayle Warwick creates those forever home additions that will stay with a family a lifetime.  You can learn more about the brand by getting in touch via your usual chat based media platform, on email fiona@byfionawood.com, or via DM on instagram.  You can also join our WhatsApp community by joining this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HxGDRuWZ801IfwqTfPY5jv   To see what inspires Gayle, and learn more about the brand directly, you can visit the instagram account.
