On offer from £235 to £155 this week, treat yourself or a loved one to a British Woollen Blanket
Taking inspiration from traditional Fair Isle patterns and knitted at the home of English knitting in Leicester from British wool, my woollen blankets are as distinctive as they are beautiful. These blankets are comfortably weighty and great to cosy up in, just like my quilts. And just like my quilts, my blankets fit a double bed comfortably at 225cm by 145cm.
Look out for my final festive offers next week x
Read MoreThe festive offer this week are my hand-made, one of a kind, distinctly British, Harris Tweed Cushions
These patchwork cushions will compliment any interior scheme and are a real colour tonic to counteract dreary days. Each 50cmx50cm cushion is distinctive and unique, made up from a combination of all the Harris Tweeds I have currently in stock and backed with British woven&printed cottons. Normally £60 each, they are £45 this week, which includes a 20? – 50cm duck cushion, also made in GB & includes free P&P in GB. Whether self gifting or buying for a loved one, these truly unique Harris Tweed cushions make a perfect present.

Read MoreOn the second week of festive offers, my true love brought for me…
Scraps, a Daschund Draft Excluder. Woof!
Scraps is inspired by a dachshund draft excluder my Granny had. I have updated him for the 21st century providing you with a friendly and practical dog companion that will stop the drafts under your door, but will also look cute perched atop a sofa, dresser, bed or mantlepiece. From the tip of his nose to his tail, Scraps measures 90cm. Scraps is made from fabrics that I use in my quilts, so he is 100% British designed and made. And this week Scraps can be yours for £39, including free P&P in GB.
Thinking about the C-word, if you are starting to collate your Christmas lists (or is that just me?) and pondering postage for all of your festive gifts, here is the link to the Post Office’s last posting dates.

Celebrate all things wool this week, including of course my deliciously cosy Harris Tweed Quilts and Yorkshire Woollen Blankets, all of course authentically 100% British made. Why do I choose to use wool in my distinctly British quilts, cushions and more? Apart from wishing to champion the excellent and great British woollen industry, I like the warming texture of wool and it’s a natural breathable fibre.
Check out all the exciting events going on (in London), particularly a rather splendid Wool BnB programmed by The Campaign for Wool
Enjoy your woolly week (in a good way) Baa!

Read MoreIt was my first visit to Burghley Horse Trials last week and it didn’t disappoint. The Country Living Makers Marquee and my stand within it were ideally situated for excellent viewing of the eventing on Saturday. As it was just me manning my stall throughout, I didn’t have any opportunity to investigate the site, but I was kept up to date with competitor developments as thankfully a fellow exhibitor Claire knows what’s what and who’s who in eventing.
And in between the highly enjoyable activity of people and dog watching throughout the four days, I had some excellent chats with exhibitors & visitors, and made some sales. Thank you to all my Burghley customers.
