Made to Measure Seaside Quilts

Made to Measure Quilts

Do you have any seaside fabrics for Quilts?

Vanessa's husband, Nick, designed this wonderful seaside fabric print material which Vanessa called, By the Sea. He says, "By the Sea was inspired by my early childhood in Solva and recent visits to Mousehole and St Ives. I was delighted in coastal towns with their cosy harbours and brightly coloured cottages, nestling behind little pathways that snake between terraced gardens and climb up the hillside."

This seaside fabric collection comes in three colours: Scree grey, Saffron yellow and Teal blue. The drawn line is a soft grey and the other colours create the houses and boats etc.

As Quilts are one of the main focal points in a room, By the Sea is a fantastic design to use with so much to look at; from boats and buildings, through to dog walkers and light houses. Great for a children's bedroom or in fact, a house by the sea!

What can your seaside fabrics be used for?

These seaside fabrics can be used for all soft furnishings. This pictorial design can be made into wonderful Quilts and accompanying cushions and curtains, there is so much to look at in the design.

Seaside print upholstery fabrics

This seaside fabric comes from the Artists' Collection, and is suitable for covering chairs, sofas and footstools really well. It is printed on a lovely 100% Linen and is strong enough to be used for upholstery. By the Sea would also look fabulous on a head board, for a bed or scatter cushions in a seaside sitting room, or for coastal bedroom curtains.

What other patterns complement your seaside fabrics UK?

There are many fabrics from our other collections that go well or contrast well with the seaside fabric range. The Plain Linen Union in Saffron, Teal and Scree, complements and contrasts with the Seaside pattern and adds some stillness and calm to the interior scheme. You could also opt for a spotted or striped design that would go well with the larger pattern. This can be integrated on a single piece, eg, a Quilt with By the Sea on the main fabric, with a striped reverse, and plain linen border. The choice is yours!
