Personally I love autumn
the leaves turning, the brisk mornings and warm sunny days at this time of year. Of course, this is an ideal version of the marvellously problematic British weather which like many (Scottish) Mancunians I can be ever so slightly obsessive about (the weather & Manchester!) However, quilts and blankets come into their own in autumn and as well as brightening up a room with a 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!
Quilts, cushions & more for your home!
With cosy autumnal days cuddling up in a quilt or blanket in mind, it’s exciting to be back at my friendly local Altrincham Market this weekend; Saturday 30th September and Sunday 1st October, as well as Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th November. On Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November, I’m really looking forward to being part of Elmslie House in Malvern, Blue Magpie Festive Fair
I hope to see you a makers fair soon x

NEW Folklore Fabric Tote Bag
Folklore Fabric is unique to my shop and was an exciting collaboration between myself, as the designer, Richard MR Smith, a master weaver and talented folk at Weisters Mill in Darwen, Lancashire. Since I have only a few Folklore Fabric cushions remaining, I evolved my Folklore Fabric into a useful reusable roomy cotton Tote Bag, ideal for all your shopping purchases, or to keep your daily jetsam and flotsam in when you are out and about.
