My super talented wedding photographer friend; Jo Bradbury has just forwarded these delicious images of her recent Coppermines photo shoot in The Lake District. Personally I cannot get enough of how delectable these images are and how well they tell this moody mid west wedding story. Also, I am off course thrilled to have my Sunshine yellow velvet & Harris Tweed patchwork quilt, plus my Folklore Fabric featured. Thank you so much Jo x

We are officially in autumn now that October is here…Right?
Personally I love the colours from the leaves turning, the brisk mornings and warm sunny days at this time of year. Of course, this is an ideal version of the marvelously problematic British weather which like many Mancunians I can be ever so slightly obsessive about (the weather & Manchester!). However, quilts (& blankets) come into their own in autumn and as well as brightening up a room with a colour pop of colour on the back of the sofa, or as a eye catching runner at the end of a bed, now you can start using them too!

My 100% Made in Britain quilts are stitched to last with iconic Harris Tweed and sumptuous velvet, trimmed in quintessential British prints. My quilts are heirlooms to pass on and as they are stitched in limited numbers they are also truly unique. Click to see my full quilts (cushions & more!) collections
With cosy – hygge autumnal days cuddling up in a quilt in mind, I am taking my Distinctly British quilts, cushions & more! to several fairs in the forthcoming months. Check out my What’s On at Quilt Towers page for more details.

This week…I will be stitching New Liberty of London Tana Lawn Summery Cotton Patchwork Quilts…since I am now out of stock of Liberty of London quilts! As with all our collections, we only stitch our quilts in limited runs, so once they are gone they are gone…
My Liberty of London Tana Lawn lighter weight summery quilts combine the Best of British quintessential Liberty retro prints in a strip patchwork design. My New Liberty of London patchwork quilts will be in new colourways , but equally delicious.
I have additional summery patchwork quilts currently available on my online shop. Go have a look see…My summery cotton quilts are £185 each and are big enough to cover a double sized bed comfortably at approximately 190 by 145cm. This price reflects the time and care taken to make each quilt, along with the quality materials stitched into each quilt. A quilt will warm your body and comfort your soul. And if the weather does throw us a curve ball, a cosy quilt or blanket is ideal to have at hand to combat any chills during The Great British Summer.
