Lemon-Pink baby quilts and cot blankets

Lucy Mason is one of the ever-growing band of mums who, when they find things aren’t quite the way they want them, set up a business to rectify that. The ‘about’ page of Lemon-Pink puts it thus: When I became a mum I found it impossible to find fresh bright colours without cartoon characters, so [...]

Cecily Mae – Divine Quilts Alert

I’m weak for beautiful kids bedding and so my heart soared and sang when I was sent a whole load of stunning handmade quilts by Cecily Mae to check out – I nearly wept handing the package back to the postie! Anyway, I digress. Dorset based Joanna, the creative dynamo behind Cecily Mae, is super [...]

I can see this not only in the bedroom but looking fab out and about for some extra snuggly warmth. Folksy seller Sew Girl has hand stitched this beauty [...]

Bespoke Patchwork Owl Quilt

I really do have a thing for patchwork quilts at the moment and my love of owls is well-documented, so imagine my delight when I spotted this while trawling Etsy for a birthday present. At $150 (plus $18.50 shipping), it’s definitely an investment piece but, like the Birds on a Line quilt that we recently [...]

Rock ‘n’ roll Baby Quilt

I’m really into quilts at the moment, but I just can’t do the whole ditsy Cath Kidston vintage thing, much as I’d like to reinvent myself as a domestic goddess. So, it’s bright, bold and modern all the way, which is why I love this electric guitar quilt that I uncovered on handmade haven Coriandr. [...]
