WHY I CHOOSE VINTAGE COTTONS FOR MY QUILTS
They bring a unique charm and character that modern fabrics often lack. Each piece of vintage cotton tells a story and adds a touch of nostalgia, creating quilts that are not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful.

WHY I CHOOSE WOOL BLANKETS for the back of my quilt
Wool is an excellent insulator, providing natural warmth by trapping air pockets in the  fibers, creating a thermal barrier that helps regulate body temperature and keep you warm without overheating.

Wool has natural wicking properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the body and release it into the air. This helps regulate humidity levels and keep you dry and comfortable, making wool blankets suitable for both warm and cool climates.

Wool is breathable, allowing air to circulate through the fibers. This helps prevent overheating and sweating, promoting a comfortable sleep environment.

Wool is a durable and resilient fiber that can withstand frequent use and maintain its shape and quality over time. Wool blankets are often long-lasting and can withstand stretching, compression, and abrasion.

Wool is naturally flame-resistant, making wool blankets a safer choice compared to synthetic materials. Wool fibers have a higher ignition point and are less likely to catch fire or melt when exposed to flames.

Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew. It is a suitable choice for individuals with allergies or sensitive skin, as it is less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.

Wool blankets are naturally resistant to stains and odours and can often be spot cleaned with mild detergent and water. Wool fibers also have a natural self-cleaning property that helps repel dirt and debris.

Wool is a renewable and biodegradable fiber, making wool blankets an environmentally friendly choice. Wool is typically sourced from sheep, which can graze on natural pastures, and the production process has a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic materials.

Here’s a glimpse into why I’m passionate about what I do.
I take great joy in upcycling vintage fabrics, transforming them into fresh, functional pieces that carry a sense of history. Each fabric has its own story, and by reimagining them, I get to preserve their uniqueness while giving them a new purpose. It’s a rewarding process that combines creativity and sustainability, allowing me to create beautiful items that not only stand out but also celebrate the charm of the past. Plus, knowing that these materials are being repurposed rather than discarded makes each piece even more special. It’s a way to honour the artistry of vintage textiles while contributing to a more sustainable future.
