Perhaps you are like me and are guilty of collecting fabrics upon fabrics which you want to make into a quilt but never find the time? Well, yesterday while I was reading Cassandra Ellis’ (from Haven Workroom<\/a>)\u00c2\u00a0 beautiful blog<\/a>, I was thrilled to find out that she is now taking orders for quilts made with your own personal collection of fabrics! It’s a wonderful idea, and Cassandra’s style and designs are stunning, she is one of the rare people I would give my pile of precious fabrics to without hesitation.<\/p>\n

Read her original post<\/a> about how she serendipitously came upon the idea here<\/a>, and click here<\/a> to find out about pricing (follow the link to ‘our goods’, ‘quilts’, then\u00c2\u00a0 ‘download pricelist’).<\/p>\n

For those of you who are new to Cassandra’s work, let me introduce her to you. Back in 2002, Cassandra started a business called Haven Workroom<\/a> in NZ. Then it was a gorgeous little store selling high-quality hand-made homewares (which sounds like my little indigo<\/a>, but no doubt much, much nicer!). A little while ago, Cassandra packed her bags and moved to London and re-created Haven Workroom<\/a> into an atelier making bespoke contemporary quilts as well as restoring and up-cycling vintage furniture. Cassandra’s aim is to keep artisan skills alive and relevant. Her quilts are contemporary and one-of-a-kind, made from vintage silks and cottons combining Indian, English, Asian and Eastern European textiles.<\/p>\n

Take a look at her quilts right here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The photos you see above and below are from Cassandra’s home back in New Zealand. I love her eclectic yet cohesive collection of homewares displayed throughout each space. It’s a home filled with soul…<\/p>\n

Beautiful, non?<\/em> Oui!<\/em> But you know I was going to say that.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you but for me, this week’s posts about talented female artisans and their work spaces has been truly inspiring – first\u00c2\u00a0 it was Tracey Deep<\/a>, then Harriet Goodall<\/a> and now Cassandra Ellis<\/a> of Haven Workroom<\/a>. Be sure to check out all the links attached to each post as there is more inspiration to be had than what I have shown here.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend mes amis. <\/em>See you on Monday!<\/p>\n

PS I am over the jetlag and flu now – yay! Thanks for all your well wishes.<\/p>\n
