Pat Albeck, who died in September 2017, was a prolific and
well-known textile and homewear designer, affectionately known as
'the Queen of the Tea Towel'. Her obituary appeared in The Times
and the Guardian, and she was the guest on Desert Island Discs a
few years ago. Pat started designing in the 1950s and continued
working throughout her life, including for John Lewis and Emma
Bridgewater. She's best known for her work with the National Trust,
for whom she designed some 300 tea towels from the 1970s to the
present day. The book will show 80 of Pat's tea towel designs. Her
son Matthew Rice (also an illustrator and designer) gives a
fascinating insight into the design process for each towel. The tea
towels include National Trust houses and gardens and her iconic
calendar designs, as well as showcasing her unique, retro and
quintessentially British textile design and illustration style.
