Things that we see and do.
This weekend brings us Mother's Day and a chance to show all hard working Mums how much they are appreciated.
This can be done with beautiful flowers.
By baking a beautiful cake to share.
Making a lovely coffee, or tea.
But the best thing of all we can give our Mum's is time. It costs nothing but it can mean the world.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Karen and Julie
Hello everyone!
Karen has been so busy sewing lately and she has now finished this beautiful blanket quilt which is similar in style to the one I showed you last week with the pink blanket backing. However this one has a navy stripe edging which makes the colours pop even more. It can be found in our shop now http://www.karenbarclay.com/shop/wool-blanket-quilt-with-navy-edging
These blanket quilts are a new style for Karen and they give an extra dimension to the feel of the quilt as the blanket lends an extra degree of softness and a heavier weight.
We will have more new quilts appearing in our shop over the next few weeks so please keep checking back and please don't forget to take advantage of our 20% offer and reduced postage which is available until Mother's Day.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

We have searched long and hard for some items to go in our shop alongside our quilts and cushions. Our criteria was a company that wouldn't let us down and liked small business's, the items had to be of good quality, handmade, ethical and eco friendly, and, here is the biggy, something we would love in our own homes (we are a bit on the fussy side!)
Our new web site www.alittlebitofnice.com is now up and running, it has taken far longer than we expected which accounts for some of the lack of blogs over the last few months.
A while ago I posted a blog about a quilt that I made for Gail, today's quilt is for Gail's seven year old son Dominic. Dominic's dad died very suddenly without any goodbyes, so it is important to Dominic to have some good memories all wrapped up in his very own special quilt.
