“I really love using Oakshott – the colours are so beautiful and I find the way the fabrics catch the light fascinating.”
Catherine Chisholm has now finished her creation with Oakshott Ruby Reds in time to enter in the appliqué section of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. She’s shared the whole making process on her Knotted Cotton blog (complete with details about threads and binding).
The backbone of our collections, the Colourshott range, has gone even more ‘premier’ with a slightly heavier weave in a 54″ width and with an extra 27 colours! We are planning to re-introduce the fantastic Colourbox (containing all 57 colours) for Christmas.
Fat Quarterly have had a sneak preview and are running a competition.
