KCG Designs began in 1981 at a time when I was a stay at home mom, who was raising two sons.
Our family did a lot of entertaining back then and I wanted to use table linens that were different
in shape, color and style.
The linens that I came across were all the same with no variations, so I started to create my
own unique line of table linens as well as other items for the home.
As a student of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York; I learned the basics
of designing fashion and interiors. I also learned to do textile design which was applied to some of the fabrics
that I still do today. I would dye the fabrics, silkscreen prints or hand stencil the designs.
Since then, the table linens have gone as far away as Italy, Paris, Mexico, Spain and Britian.
Afterwards, I started concentrating on other items such as pillows, beaded sachet holders, painted victorian screens, floorcloths
and then children's wear, which I call Snowflake & Co.
My then husband, helped me to put a lot of the designs together. After his death in
1989, everything was put on hold until recently.
I hope that you enjoy what I have designed and continue to enjoy what I design in the future.

KCG Designs has decided to give some space to PlatinumBlack. An up
and coming hiphop, bebop and a funky kinda rap group, here in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Big things will come from this group of young men. So keep an eye
on them!
All the best of luck! To Addison and his home boys!
Good Morning Corky,
I just received your items in the mail and found them to be absolutely beautiful!
People were asking me where I got them? They have never seen anything like these. I said that there is a
lady in Winnipeg who makes them. So I will be ordering more of these as gifts for a few of my friends. They also
like the idea that you can change the potpourri when you want to change the scent.

Dear Corky,
The Silk India Purse that I purchased for my grandmother as a birthday gift was unique and beautiful.
She loved it! I didn't realize that you did that kind of beautiful work until I saw a sample. What a lovely idea.

is a gift that I will treasure for many years to come.

Hi Corky,
I recently received a lovely wedding gift from someone who was visiting Canada and brought back
a set of glass beaded napkin rings.
The glass beaded napkin rings are absolutely beautiful! They go perfectly with my decor.
I recently had a few people over for dinner and was asked where or from whom I received the napkin rings from. So, you
should be hearing from them soon!
