Salzburg Stripe Red & Green Cushion – Rectangle

MEET THE MAKER

Lizzie Howard

Lizzie makes every cushion in the Minni Parker collection. She is also responsible for all the blinds, curtains, seat cushions and the headboard that featured in the first Minni Parker photoshoot.

Lizzie calls herself a curtain maker and that’s true, it’s just difficult to isolate exactly what Lizzie does because, for almost everything Katharine has ever asked her, the answer has been “yes”. Since Katharine met Lizzie a few years ago Lizzie has made virtually every soft furnishing in Katharine’s home. So, when Minni Parker began, there was no one else Katharine trusted to bring her designs to life like Lizzie.

Lizzie moved to Cornwall from Yorkshire at six years old when her father was posted here by the RAF. In her 20’s she began helping at a curtain business where she met Marion who went on to become her good friend and mentor. Marion is still the voice in Lizzie’s head, and Lizzie credits her with everything she knows. 

Every time Lizzie does one job it leads to another, and this has taken her all over the UK and across the world. Lizzie loves the fact that her work will last 30 years plus and feels very lucy that she has never seen it as a job. 

If you cannot find cushions in the size you are looking for on our website, Lizzie can make them bespoke to your project or requirement. She also takes commissions for curtains so please get in touch and let us know what you need.
