How are your quilts made?
1) Firstly small patches of fabric are cut in various shapes & sizes and then handstitched together to make a pattern, this is the quilt block. 2) The quilt blocks are then handstitched together making the top layer of the quilt, this is the most decorative part of the patchwork quilt. 3) Next the soft filler (wadding), in either cotton or polyester, is placed underneath the top layer. 4) Then one large piece of fabric, usually in a plain or floral design, is placed underneath the filling. 5) To complete the quilt all three layers are then quilted together with fine stitching.
What are the quilts for?
Our quilts provide an extra layer of warmth above your sheets and blankets or duvet and the beautiful designs create a decorative top layer for your bed. They are incredibly versatile and look equally fabulous alone or with matching pillow shams and cushions.
Are your quilts machine washable?
Yes, all of our quilts and baby quilts are machine washable. We recommend a cool wash in a front loading machine on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach. Wash separately and spot clean if required. Do not dry clean. The quilts may not withstand commercial cleaning chemicals due to their handmade nature. Line drying is recommended, do not tumble dry.
