I am an antique textile dealer and also make things from a variety of my textiles,usually things that are distressed and can be recycled to extend their life and enjoy their beauty or workmanship.
I buy antique quilts exstensively ,log cabin pattern is my favourite. "Paisley" shawls are another passion of mine,even the damaged ones find a good home with me! love the colours, so rich.
I have a soft spot for anything in wool, must be my Northern roots and upbringing,Blankets, sweaters, tweeds and felts , the more rustic the better.
Lizzy and I share a love of French linen and textiles and have a joint collection , " Franglais " which we source together on our travels, bedlinens , soft furnishings , sheets for curtains , the more rustic the better we like them Handwoven linens and hemps from the 19th cent. wonderful shirts and chemises.
Good luck on Sunday. We will miss you both in Frome. Hope you have recovered from Ardingly, I am still trying to catch up, that cold wind was so debilitating wasn't it. Liz x
Hope your Fair goes well I am sure it will. Bridport does not start till late morning and is very casual, more like a carboot hope the weather does not rain me off. xxxx
