Coast and cow parsley
It’s half term holidays here next week (again!) so I desperately wanted to make the most of my child free mornings this week.
And, I think I have:
I have started this little project inspired by my favourite place: the English coast.
I met Sue from ‘Natures Threads’ who has kindly agreed to be the very first stockist of my quilt patterns! I’m so pleased about that.
And I have been searching the internet for the perfect wallpaper for the wall behind our bed (classic, cast iron, brass knobs). The wallpaper needs to be in keeping with the age of the house, but with a clean, fresh feel. It has to look nice with the crazy quilt I am about to start making and my other bed quilts. It can’t be expensive and we both have to love it.
Now, can you guess which criteria is causing me the most problems?
Yes, getting Tony to agree with me!
I want this. Cow parsley by Cole and Son.
What do you think?

Wow, that Cow parsley wallpaper is beautiful! Who would not like it? I love a combination of bright yellow walls, white woodwork and natural wood floors and I’d have my whole house like that if I could. Good luck with the quilt patterns!

Such a beautiful quilt underway – you have made wonderful use of your time! I love the colours.
Both your bed quilts are charming.
You get my vote for the wallpaper – It is enough to convince me to start looking at wallpaper, and I don’t even need any. I especially like the fact that it is such a happy yellow.

I simply love the wall paper! Its amazingly bold and pretty – I’m so timid when it comes to color in the house – slightly off white walls everywhere! Dull little olde me!

Just order the wallpaper he will love it when it arrives.

Well done on the pattern front. That must feel amazing.
