These are a preview and are not yet up on the website but if you want to get these before they are even up just drop us an email, this colour is on special offer at £45 instead of £55 with free delivery until valentines day!

A Hearty Cut Out

Hi I’m Alison Baxter, printed textile designer maker and also currently working at Lorna Syson Textiles!
On my wish list for this Valentine’s Day is a fantastic hand cut card from Helen Foers at Storeyshop. www.storeyshop.blogspot.com These bespoke cards are made to order and can be personalised with your own message or your loved ones name. Helen uses high quality card that comes in wide range of rich colours and the end result is a beautiful hand crafted keepsake.



I absolutely love the detail that goes into these cards and I think they are a fun and perfect gift for February 14th!
Storeyshop is very popular but if you order by the 8th of February you are guaranteed to receive your hand cut card in time for Valentine’s Day! Go to www.storeyshop.etsy.com to buy.

Unravel your Heart...

11 days to go til Valentines...

Hello, I'm today's guest blogger Nicole Wade. Knit and Textile Designer/Maker, currently working at Lorna Syson Textiles.

My favourite Valentines gift this year is Catherine Tough's hand crafted knit/felt lavender hearts, which come in all colours and patterns. From cherry red polka dots and strawberry pink stripes to citrus florals and gold check. Tough's range of beautiful hearts can be heated up on the radiator to keep you nice and cosy on these cold wintry nights!


Pink & Gold Fairisle

Citrus Floral

As a knit designer I particularly love these fairisle and floral patterned knit fabrics. Tough's great sense of colour and pattern stood out to me at Top Drawer 2011. Check out Catherine Tough's 100% lambswool products at www.catherinetough.co.uk
