Lisa Watson Blog
I am really pleased to announce that I have NEW:
Hounds tooth
BIG Fair Isle
&
Tumbling Block
blankets being woven NOW!
My NEW blankets are now available to pre-order at the original price of £115 (incl P&P) here, but due to increased production costs this price will have to rise to £140 from May…
These quintessentially British Blanket designs are woven in Lancashire from Yorkshire wool. These soft felted blankets measure 200cm by 150cm so looks great on a double or king-size bed as well as being an ideal sofa throw to keep at hand to combat any chills.
Why not treat yourself or a loved one x

Spring has sprung (nearly!)
To celebrate the Spring Equinox on Saturday 20th, the warmer weather and sunnier days (hopefully!), I am offering my Summery Patchwork Quilts and my Super Cute Shirting Patchwork Quilts at the special price of £200 (plus P&P) until the end of March…so, if the weather does throw us a curve ball, a cosy (but light) quilt is ideal to have at hand to combat any chills during springtime.

Featured article
Hard to believe this time last year I was still busy enjoying traversing the country attending festive fairs…
GNCCF online
The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair online, took place a couple of weekends ago. However, you can still browse and shop via this link. With over 150 exhibitors to buy from, (including me!) it was/is a perfect opportunity to get all your Christmas shopping completed in one magical online marketplace. Not only will you be buying something special for your loved ones, but you’ll also be helping to support makers during the pandemic.
I’m also really looking forward to being back at Alty Mkt (with real people!) again this Sunday 6th December for my last festive fair this year, so if you are in the locality do come and say hi
Enjoy your week, keep warm, take care & onward x

Participating makers have all agreed that 15% of all online sales from CLOTH#20 will go to Dovecot, a registered charity who are a vital resource in the landscape of creativity – specifically tapestry making – both nationally and internationally, so for track and tracing purposes please quote ‘CLOTH20’ in all communication with the makers you wish to purchase from. Thank you and enjoy!
How it works:
1. Explore our curated list of some of the most exciting makers here.
2. Click on the button in each entry to head straight to their online stores.
3. When you make an order please quote ‘CLOTH20’ at checkout, in their comments box or when contacting the maker to let them know that we sent you.

Lisa is very proud of her quilts and justifiably so. I have never seen any like them, photos do not do them justice.
