Beautiful tea -towels- black rabbit

I was lucky enough to go to the Selvedge fair last week in Archway ... the products I have to say were "AMAZING'.. the most beautiful knitted toys and softies fabuloue cushions .. the list to be honest goes on .. and on .. I came away thinking .... yes I can do that.. that and that ... It was one of the hottest days of the year .. so our trip was finished with a smallish drink (or 5) in a local pub ... I picked up these vibrant t- towels at the fair .. Beautifully designed by the Black Rabbit.


Hand Printed on Organic cotton .. really too nice to dry my cups with .. so mine are going in frames on my wall.

Ceramic Butons

I am very Easily pleased .. I received the most exciting package in the post today, from a lovely lady named Mary. The treasure was wrapped up in no other than a whiskas tin box .. and when I opened it - inside were these.

and some of these

and these ... to be honest .. these are my favourite


I came across Mary via the top drawer which is held in Earls Court a couple of times a year .. and when I seen pictures of her beautiful ceramic buttons .. I just had to buy some for the shop. They are very slim and not chunky and her glaze colours are lovely and vibrant.


We will be selling these buttons in sets of 2 I think that they are perfect for adding a touch of class to bags, Broches pins for jackets .. the list is endless ..

Kaffe quilt fabric giveaway ... HOT NEWS

For the past couple of weeks .. us .. (well.. just me actually) have being back and forth with emails to a lovely lady who has a great quilting blog "lily's quilts".. her blog is extremely witty and full of useful information .. helpful tips and general good fun blogness ..

Well the lovely Lynne at Lilyquilts is running a competition in conjunction with us here at celticfusionfabrics.The competition is to guess how long it will take her to create this beautiful quilt by Kaffe Fasset (image not shown for copyright reasons) And the HOT NEWS is that you get to choose your very own giveaway from us here up to the value of £20.00 If you choose carefully, that's 8 fat quarters. You can choose fat quarters, mini cloth stacks, patterns, linen tapes, anything at all from here And if you win, your choices will be sent to you (subject to them still being available failing which you will be free to choose suitable alternatives to the same value). Here's a little tempter of something you might choose...from us


The previous rule that you have as many guesses as you want has now changed. You now have only two chances to win this prize. You can make two different guesses. One guess on my blog and one on Lynne's Lilly'squilts blog If you've already made your first guess on my blog, you're in a good position but you need to head on over to Lynnes' blog for your second guess. When stating your guess here please specify what you would like from my shop .. these shown are just a sample of our textile treats.

Lynne have taken 18 hours to get this far (see partial quilt top lounging on log pile below) and she have to complete this quilt: (which is not pictured for copyright reasons). How will we decide a winner? We will take a few people who are close in hours to the final tally and will then pick the most interesting / funny / intelligent / insightful comment as the winner. And the winner is more likely to be someone who is now or becomes a regular visitor to our blogs as opposed to someone who pops in for the day, has a guess then we never hear from them again. I'm not saying you have to follow us but followers may have an advantage. The quilt will take Lynne a few more weeks to finish and the giveaway winner will be announced at the end. Good Luck!


Quilting Queens .. go check out Lynnes great blog to submit and for general qulting tit bits ...

New Peace collection by Michael MIller








I have being very excited about this collection of fabrics by Michael Miller .. I love that the shapes are bole and graphic and I absolutely adore the coral writting on the cream lined background .. a little like a old school copybook.. They all complement each other perfectly .. I love them ..
