    Purple Days

    March 04, 2016

    Purple combines the calm stability of blue with the fierce energy of red. It's often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury and power. Purple can represent wealth, creativity, wisdom, grandeur, devotion, peace, mystery, independence and magic. We love designer Helen Howes' use of purple in her Interpolations 3a / Inpurpleation Quilt (shown here in progress): Interpolations3a-Inpurpleation_in-progress_HelenHowes If you're inspired, read the story behind her design and to make the project download the pattern from Helen Howes Textiles. To celebrate the UK's Mothering Sunday on 6 March 2016 we are offering 20% OFF selected purples up until 9am UK time on Monday 7 March. Use the promotional code MUM16 at the checkout when you purchase any of these selected purples from the Colourshott collection (just click on your chosen swatch to shop):
