Lorna fuses traditional embroidered appliqué techniques with her own style of fabric manipulation to create her signature stitched and collage surfaces on pillows, blankets, mirrors and purses.

She takes mosaic like pieces of fabric, bonds them onto a wool Melton background and then with mostly a straight stitch, she stitches over and around the shapes in a sketch like , hand drawn style. The stitches not only hold the design together but create a sense of movement and energy over the surface, defining the composition and adding intricate details.
