I have three of my handmade, one of a kind cheerful colour pop Harris Tweed patchwork cushions in an online auction for the Royal British Legion Scotland who for 100 years have championed the Armed Forces Community and provided life changing support to those who needed it. The auction goes live at 9am on Saturday 19th and ends at 9pm on Armed Forces Day UK on Saturday 26th. There are lots of original and diverse items to bid on from Hospitality at Manchester United in Old Trafford to Carnoustie 4-Ball, A Rick Stein meal at Barnes, through to Artwork by Marc Quinn and so much more, so do have a look see HERE

Read MoreThese quintessentially British Blankets are woven in Lancashire from Yorkshire lambswool, measure 200 by 150cm, so look great on a double or king-size bed, as well as being an ideal sofa throw, or warming outside cover up, to keep at hand to combat any chills, if the weather does throw us a curve ball…
There are 3 designs In 3 new colourways;
My Houndstooth reversible blanket is now available in Morel and Bleached White colourway (with a Mustard Mead blanket stitch edging)
Sea Holly and Silver (with a Quince blanket stitch edging) are the contemporary colourways for my new BIG Fair Isle design blanket

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

Due to COVID-19 we are unable to host a physical event on the scale that has previously proved successful at the Dovecot Studios in central Edinburgh. This year it’s more important than ever to celebrate and support our vibrant community of textile makers and designers from around the world, so with this in mind we would like to present to you 50+ fantastic makers from around the world with links to their selling sites.
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.
I’m super excited to be part of this show See you there x
