Second runner -up
Delft Autumn BerriesJen Mitchell,
Wellington, Somerset
Jen’s inspiration:
Autumn is my favourite season, so I chose colours of
rich hedgerow berries and fruit – blackberries, plums
and apples, with complimentary greens.
Jane says:
This colourway was another surprise for me as it does
not feature shades I would typically put together. Colour
is such a personal thing, with everyone choosing
differently and I really like Jen’s decision to mix the
purple shades with lime green, pinks and lilac.
