About Us
Designs by Beverly, Inc. was born when the last
little bird left for college and the "nest was empty". Finding myself unemployed
and my husband relocated far from family and friends, I needed a new hobby. I
decided to try painting. My only art course had been Art Appreciation in
college. I received a "C" and gave up any illusions of a career in Art.
Older, wiser, and without fear, I picked up a
brush and went in search of something to paint on. I found kitchen towels on
sale and decided to try painting on fabric. After painting 100 towels, I went in
search of an arts and craft show to try selling them. If they didn't sell, I
could always give them as gifts and was sure the recipient would never tell me
how awful they were--besides they could use them as Cleaning Cloths. Six years
later, here we are, selling my designs to stores and catalogs, as well as
through arts and crafts shows, which we enjoy so very much. After having reached
a point that I could no longer hand paint the towels fast enough to satisfy the
demand, friends convinced me to reproduce my designs.
All designs are original. Unlike other artists
that reproduce their designs on canvas or paper, I reproduce mine on fabric. My
designs are machine washable and colorfast, and come with care instructions. I
am so blessed to be able to work with my husband (he retired and works with me),
and do something I love. I get to meet wonderful people, travel, and make new
friends. Thanks to my son I now have a web site. You asked for it and you got
it, browse, and I hope you find something you think would make great Cleaning
Cloths.
