Puleeze Sir, Won't You Buy My Quilts...?


"I have come all the way from Negril..."

OK, so it's a private joke that still hangs on after a trip to Jamaica 30 years ago! Baskets, inferior baskets at that, but we were haunted by the guilt of saying no. So here I am peddling quilts instead. If any of these interest you, just get in touch. These are just the smallest ones so it was easy to rephotograph them and pile them up. The larger ones Molly has decided she likes on the floor, but whenever she runs for her imaginary burglars at the door, the quilt piles slide the length of the house on the slippery floors! They will be next, all I need is another burst of energy to get 'em on the blog!Be sure to click on the images for larger pictures. All prices are 50% off retail.
