Hugs 'n Kisses
by Helen Stubbings
"Well, I am a normal country girl who grew up 'making'. I am the designer behind the brand which has grown simply from a pure love of stitching. With no formal art education, no university degree but a drive and passion that has brought me to here.
Hugs ‘n Kisses was born out of a life in Defence - yes I was first a full time professional musician in the Australian Army - with many hours wasted on buses travelling to parades and gigs - my solution? - take up cross-stitch, then embroidery, then sewing, then patchwork and anything else I could get my hands on.
I soon also became an army wife - moving around the country with no family support, a husband away a lot and two small children. Stitching (my general term for all things patchwork, quilting, sewing, embroidery etc ) was my savior - a way to meet other like minded supportive people, a way to pass the days home with children, a way to achieve something for me.
Since officially forming in 2001 we have now grown to a worldwide business, I travel across the world teaching, we sell our patterns, books and products worldwide and I am lucky to meet like minded passionate stitchers in every country."
