Get to Know Us: Alice
Everyday we show you tropical birds with Michael Millar, take you on a woodland journey with Riley Blake, and advise you to embrace your inner Alexander Henry girl. Well recently, we've been thinking maybe it's time to switch our cameras to selfie mode and let you in on our lives a little.

Easy Baby Quilt Tutorial
Today we have the most exciting post!
As fabric lovers we adore patchwork quilts, we definitely appreciate the time and love in each stitch, each fold and of course the gift of a quilt is literally the most welcome and lovely thing ever! But what we also all know is that quilts take time and patience, and measuring, and remeasuring and to some it can be quite daunting. Sooooo today Judith at Just Jude Designs has created a pattern from... patchwork fabric! The pattern uses our Riley Blake Saltwater range of fabric and should not only be easier than a traditional patchwork quilt but much faster. Fabulously fast!
Ready, Set, Gift!
