It's a lovely time of year to go and visit friends and colleagues around the country, so I made the most of the season and called in at Heritage Crafts this week
I’ve just got round to downloading my photos of a trip I took recently with some of the other stitching girls from Origin Publishing. We spent a weekend in a cottage in Wales, and I have to admit, it was the most beautiful cottage I’ve ever stayed in. What’s more, it was completely decked out with traditional cross stitch and tapestry inside, from the bed heads, to the coasters, cushions and pictures on the wall. It completely inspired me to introduce more cross stitch into my own home furnishings. Not only does it look beautiful, but it’s becoming very fashionable too, and I’ve seen it popping up in all sorts of home design magazines, including BBC Homes & Antiques.
