Fat Quarter Design - was founded by two Graphic Designers, Paul Higginson and Anthony Duke. Working on separate projects, they got talking and saw an opportunity for combining the two ideas. Paul was working on some children's plate designs for a ceramics company and Anthony was creating some charts for a book on tapestry designs. By combining the two projects their first idea was a cushion design commemorating the birth of a child.
This idea soon spread to encompass a design for each month of the year, again this grew to incorporate each sign of the zodiac. Having arrived at this initial idea it became clear that something other than just a cushion design was needed. The project evolved into the idea of an heirloom, something special, that would stay in a family for years to come.
To complete the project some details of the sign itself and the story of the myths connected to each individual starsign would be included. In this way each tapestry would be informative as well as a wonderful reminder of a very special occasion.
Despite being a new company, they each have over 20 years experience in many varying fields of design, including book design, packaging design, corporate identity and web design.
The two have begun work on their next project.
