Read MoreAs the idiom goes March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb…So, as sunshine and warmer weather is undoubtably on the way, the timing is just right for my Summery quilts; a lighter cotton quilt, ideal to keep any nighttime chills at bay, which have the perfect combination of summery patterns, to brighten up your bed, sofa, deckchair, loveseat, swing or veranda!
There are just 10 NEW Summery quilts, some from Liberty of London print fabrics and some out of Designer Guild print fabrics, with some John Lewis in one of them too! All quilts are stitched in Lisa’s signature strip design. As with all our collections, we only stitch our quilts in limited runs, so once they are gone they are gone…
My NEW Summery Quilts will be launched at Country Living Spring Fair

Pinterest is my go to place for inspiration…just type in your key word-idea-colour-design and away you go…I just have to remember to stay focussed on the task in hand and stop myself from getting too distracted by all the amazing pins out there. What I also really like about Pinterest is that people are so generous with sharing all their Pinspirations. If you haven’t already dipped a big toe in, Pinterest is well worth a look see http://www.pinterest.com/lisawtextiles/

Read MoreNothing like a Hamilton House jig to warm you up on a chilly January Burns night celebration. Well that a wee drop of whisky, or, just stick to the golden stuff-neat!
However you choose to celebrate Burns Night-enjoy (and be drink aware!)
A lasting memory is having to learn ‘Too a Mouse’ at school;
Wee, sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous beastie,
O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee,
Wi’ murdering pattle.
which is fine, but I’m not sure my kids (or anyone else for that matter) are too impressed every time I still prattle it out…
On a more interesting note, it does mean I get the reference to the fabulous Timorous Beasties; http://www.timorousbeasties.com/ whose provocative and surreal textiles and wallpapers get my vote every time. And of these, the traditional Thistle design is a lasting favourite;

Now where did I leave those gorgeous Harris Tweed and velvet quilts to wrap round my shoulders to nip outside when cooling down after dancing a stomping Dashing White Sergeant?
