"A Child's Bliss" by Hilde van Schaardenburg
- Description
A Child’s Bliss
Quilt 2010 50 x 50 cm
"The atmosphere of the days before Christmas touches something deep in me, the memory of a blissful experience, more than 60 years ago. I was about four years old; it was Christmas’ Eve, December 24. Not until the evening did I get to see the Christmas tree, after waiting the whole day. Then the door opened and what I saw there was a room filled with light, so much lighter than the real light of the candles in the tree. A music box played a Christmas carol and this was mixed with the sound of little bells tinkling… I was a very happy child!"



"Blue Hour" by Hilde van Schaardenburg
- Description
BLUE HOUR
Quilt 2019
192 x 125 cm
Materials:
Cotton (Oakshott Fabrics, Moda Grunge)
Wool
Textile Paint (Stewart Gill)
Techniques:
Patchwork
Longarm Quilting
Felting
Painting on Fabric
Inspiration:
The blue hour is the period of twilight in the morning or evening, around the nautical stage when the sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade, which differs from the one visible during most of a clear day.
I experienced this blue hour in the morning before sunrise in the Austrian Alps. It is just magical and enchanting.

3D Blocks by Karin Pope
- Description
This was Helen Butcher’s Block of the Month pattern which I completed in August 2021.
I like geometric designs and Helen’s Foundation Paper Pieced patterns were easy to use. I chose to make the larger of the two options we were given. Each block measures 4 inches finished.

Fabric colour pack and pattern for 50 Shades + Grey Quilt designed by Lynne Goldsworthy of LilysQuilts.
Content:
- Pack of Colourshott 5" Charm Squares
- 0.5m COTX28 Colourshott 28 Vintage Silver, 0.5m COTX29 Colourshott 29 Charcoal
- Pattern and instructions
Please note: binding and backing fabric are not included and must be bought separately. Lynne recommends COTX28 Colourshott Vintage Silver: you will need 1.5m for both binding and backing (assuming some fabric is left over from the quilt top).
100% mercerised shot cottons - each colourway combines a base colour warp with a complementary or contrasting weft thread. This produces the trademark ‘shot’ effect when colours appear to shimmer and ‘move’ depending on how the light falls. It lends extra depth and texture to your project.
For more from Lynne go to @lilysquilts or http://lilysquilts.blogspot.co.uk/.Fabric widths
Our fabrics are cut from a 54” / 137 cm bolt width - that’s up to 23% wider than 'standard'. This means that our cut lengths and pre-cut packs provide a surprising amount of fabric!
Oakshott Pre-cuts
Because they’re cut from 54” / 137 cm wide bolts, our cuts are up to a third bigger than 'standard'.
Our pre-cuts come in Fat 8ths, Fat Quarter, Half Metre Block or 1 Metre packs. 5” Charm Squares are available for individual collections.
Caring for your shot cottons - before, during and after sewing
We use the best quality reactive dyes which provide the best fastness to light, rubbing and especially to washing. This however cannot be guaranteed and as many quilts are future heritage projects, we recommend dry cleaning.
Our fabrics are soft finished with steam after production and most quilters do not prewash them. If prewashing is preferred, then only by hand in clean water at 30C, please.
Our fabrics are pure finished ie they don’t contain binders / wax / starch etc. The handle will therefore change very little when the fabric is washed. They may however fray slightly more than ‘finished’ fabrics and to minimise this, we recommend overlocking cut edges prior to washing.
Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry. Dark and light colours should be washed separately. Avoid optical whiteners and chlorine based cleaning products. Gently towel dry and iron whilst damp. Allow for a shrinkage of 3-5%.

WHAT ARE ‘SHOT’ COTTONS?
Each colourway is achieved by selecting a base colour warp and marrying it with a complementary or contrasting weft thread. This produces our trademark ‘shot’ effect, when the colour appears to shimmer and change depending on how the light falls. They appear to have depth and movement.
Many of our collections - Lakes, Lipari, Ruby Reds, Scandinavia and Sorbet - combine a single warp shade with a rainbow of weft threads. This ensures that the colours mix, match and tone happily together and it makes for easy colour combining.

6 inch Blocks, 45" x 45" by Karin Pope
- Description
Each 6” block in this quilt was entirely hand-sewn. It was a Block-a-week (49 of them) by the Bramble Patch, UK in 2018.
Each week we had to draft the block on graph paper from a diagram and accurately cut the pieces. Week one was straightforward and as the weeks passed, the blocks became more complicated and with smaller pieces.
I joined the blocks by machine and had it professionally quilted. It remains one of my most favourite quilts. Approx 45”square.




































Advice for Quilter by Ingrid Huber

Advice for Quilter
Size: 280 cm x 230 cm
It was on a visit to Pennsylvania, US that Ingrid Huber's eye was caught by artefacts for sale offering Advice from Nature in the form of poems.
Ingrid explains...
Funny but also thoughtful advice was offered by animals, plants, landscape... whatever you can think of. I liked them a lot.
On the next leg of the trip, to IQS Houston, Ingrid's imagination was fired and a plan began to crystallise.
Here I got the idea about advice that might be given by the utensils I use as a quilter… On the flight home I made the first notes and within weeks I had the advice from sixteen utensils.
Back home, whilst researching Ilan Shamir's Advice from Nature, she came across Advice from a Quilt. Gaining permission to reproduce the poem, Ingrid's quilt design was complete!
Interspersed between the sampler-style colour blocks are Ingrid's own poems, crafted with gentle humour and offering pointers to help quilters honour their own talents.
This is one of my favourite quilts – it shows so much of my creativity. It's strange to praise myself, but I am really proud of this quilt!

They may however fray slightly more than ‘finished’ fabrics and to minimise this, we recommend overlocking cut edges prior to washing. Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry. Dark and light colours should be washed separately. Avoid optical whiteners and chlorine based cleaning products. Gently towel dry and iron whilst damp. Allow for a shrinkage of 3-5%.

Alpine 03 Verbier, width 54" / 137 cm
Regular price £5.79VAT (product tax) is NOT charged on shipments outside the UK. However local taxes may apply.
- Description
- Size guide
- Care
- FAQs
- Shipping & returns
Meadows carpeted with wild flowers, set against a Swiss mountain backdrop, are surely one of the loveliest sights. Their flora is delicate and diminutive, their jewel-like colours vibrant in the pure mountain air. The inspiration for our Alpines.
100% mercerised shot cottons - each colourway combines a base colour warp with a complementary or contrasting weft thread. This produces the trademark 'shot' effect when colours appear to shimmer and 'move' depending on how the light falls. It lends extra depth and texture to your project.
The Alpine shades, with their shared warp, work beautifully together - no need to worry about colour combining.
Use them for quilting, patchwork and general sewing.
Fabric widths
Our fabrics are cut from a 54” / 137 cm bolt width - that’s up to 23% wider than 'standard'. This means that our cut lengths and pre-cut packs provide a surprising amount of fabric!
Oakshott Pre-cuts
Because they’re cut from 54” / 137 cm wide bolts, our cuts are up to a third bigger than 'standard'.
Our pre-cuts come in Fat 8ths, Fat Quarter, Half Metre Block or 1 Metre packs. 5” Charm Squares are available for individual collections.
Caring for your shot cottons - before, during and after sewing
We use the best quality reactive dyes which provide the best fastness to light, rubbing and especially to washing. This however cannot be guaranteed and as many quilts are future heritage projects, we recommend dry cleaning.

WHAT ARE ‘SHOT’ COTTONS?
Each colourway is achieved by selecting a base colour warp and marrying it with a complementary or contrasting weft thread. This produces our trademark ‘shot’ effect, when the colour appears to shimmer and change depending on how the light falls. They appear to have depth and movement.
Many of our collections - Lakes, Lipari, Ruby Reds, Scandinavia and Sorbet - combine a single warp shade with a rainbow of weft threads. This ensures that the colours mix, match and tone happily together and it makes for easy colour combining.

Alpine 07 Villars, width 54" / 137 cm
Regular price £5.79VAT (product tax) is NOT charged on shipments outside the UK. However local taxes may apply.

- Shipping & returns
Meadows carpeted with wild flowers, set against a Swiss mountain backdrop, are surely one of the loveliest sights. Their flora is delicate and diminutive, their jewel-like colours vibrant in the pure mountain air. The inspiration for our Alpines.
100% mercerised shot cottons - each colourway combines a base colour warp with a complementary or contrasting weft thread. This produces the trademark 'shot' effect when colours appear to shimmer and 'move' depending on how the light falls. It lends extra depth and texture to your project.
The Alpine shades, with their shared warp, work beautifully together - no need to worry about colour combining.
Use them for quilting, patchwork and general sewing.
Fabric widths
Our fabrics are cut from a 54” / 137 cm bolt width - that’s up to 23% wider than 'standard'. This means that our cut lengths and pre-cut packs provide a surprising amount of fabric!
Oakshott Pre-cuts
Because they’re cut from 54” / 137 cm wide bolts, our cuts are up to a third bigger than 'standard'.
Our pre-cuts come in Fat 8ths, Fat Quarter, Half Metre Block or 1 Metre packs. 5” Charm Squares are available for individual collections.
Caring for your shot cottons - before, during and after sewing
We use the best quality reactive dyes which provide the best fastness to light, rubbing and especially to washing. This however cannot be guaranteed and as many quilts are future heritage projects, we recommend dry cleaning.
Our fabrics are soft finished with steam after production and most quilters do not prewash them. If prewashing is preferred, then only by hand in clean water at 30C, please.
Our fabrics are pure finished ie they don’t contain binders / wax / starch etc. The handle will therefore change very little when the fabric is washed. They may however fray slightly more than ‘finished’ fabrics and to minimise this, we recommend overlocking cut edges prior to washing.
Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry. Dark and light colours should be washed separately. Avoid optical whiteners and chlorine based cleaning products. Gently towel dry and iron whilst damp. Allow for a shrinkage of 3-5%.
If you’re not familiar with Oakshott, here are a few hints and tips to help you navigate our site more easily. If you don't find the answer to your question here, please get in touch.

WHAT ARE ‘SHOT’ COTTONS?
Each colourway is achieved by selecting a base colour warp and marrying it with a complementary or contrasting weft thread. This produces our trademark ‘shot’ effect, when the colour appears to shimmer and change depending on how the light falls. They appear to have depth and movement.
Many of our collections - Lakes, Lipari, Ruby Reds, Scandinavia and Sorbet - combine a single warp shade with a rainbow of weft threads. This ensures that the colours mix, match and tone happily together and it makes for easy colour combining.
