Hello and welcome to all our lovely felters, makers, creators and all round lovely people!

Today is just a quick post really to say that we are now in our second month of trading at the Handmade Boutique! I can't quite believe where its gone to, but I have to say I am absolutely over the moon with the progress so far.

We have had such great feedback over our joint venture and the positive comments about the craftsmanship, the individuality and the standard of workmanship has been so wonderful to receive. I personally have received such brilliant feedback on my product range and kits as well as lots of course bookings.

So if you haven't visited the boutique yet in The Great Western Arcade in Birmingham, you are in for a real treat... stock is changing all the time so you are sure to be met with new inspirations each time you go in.

For now I will leave you with a few pics.

Our courses are off with a BANG!!

Well hello my lovely felty fans! Wow what can I say what a busy few months its been in the run up to the opening of the Handmade Boutique. We have now been open just one short month and the feeback has been brilliant.

Last night we kicked off with the very first course and it was a packed full house!

Featured Artist You Me & Lucia E at Flutterby Art Boutique...

Today we bring you yet another talented designer from the Flutterby Art Boutique at Curborough Craft and Antique Centre near Lichfield. The Boutique is run by the fabulous, bubbly and very lovable Kate Williams AKA Kate Flutterby Art Williams!

So todays post is all about a lovely lady who designs and creates the most adorable girls girls clothes and toys.  This is Helens Story...

Helen is a full-time mummy to her beautiful daughter Lucia. Sewing has run through her family for generations having learnt her craft from her mother.

She started making her daughter’s clothes and general items for around the home but continues to expand her range. This is how “You, Me & Lucia E” was created, to share Helen’s homemade items, principally sewn, but all inspired by beautiful fabrics.

You may have seen Helen’s range of dollies, rabbits and rattles in a local Lichfield boutique called Mooch Kids. All of her dollies and soft toys are CE compliant and safe from birth. So there is real peace of mind that these have been tested and are safe for your little ones to play with.

Helen only uses the finest quality cotton fabrics and 100% wool felt, the detail is exquisite with hand embroidered facial features and personalisation if requested. So these really do feel like a quality product but at the same time unique and individual.

She also showcases at Flutterby Art Boutique and has a dedicated Facebook page which sells these and other items such as little girl's dresses, pretty bunting, children's bags, children's aprons and fabric notice boards.

She says of her new venture “I love what I do, it is a million miles away from my previous career in the commercial banking industry, but I love the creativity and freedom this affords me especially as it enables me to spend quality time with my daughter”.

 

Here are a few images of just some of the stunning designs Helen creates :)

Cushions O Gloriously Glorious Handmade Cushions!!!

Hello lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people!! Welcome to the very latest's and up to the minute edition of the Tigerlily Makes blog.

Here at Tigerlily Towers, we pride ourselves on excellent craftsmanship, not only in the designs we produce but in supporting those in our industry sector, so today I wanted to share with you some amazing handmade cushions.  2 are made with tweed one welsh tweed the other Harris tweed and 3 completely hand knitted cushions that were a custom made especially for our Chief Feltreprenuer.

Firstly the green and purple button tweed was a lovely find on a holiday in a village gallery, its made with beautiful welsh tweed and I love the simplicity of using simply elegant design with the natural texture of the fabric.

The second cushion is the little cushion in next to the green one with my name on it... this was a gift and was handmade especially for me by my wonderfully talented friend Skye. I just love the work and detail in this cushion and its something I really treasure. Skye makes all manner of things including some amazing buttons, you can see more of her amazing work on her facebook page

Last but not least the amazingly talented Lesley at Sweet Little Knitted Things who again gifted me these beautiful cushions!! BUT I have to say the whole process was amazing from start to finish. Lesley (Sweet Little Knitted Things) having been knitting for some 50+ years of her life know her knits!! What Lesley doesn't know about knitting isn't worth knowing.

So Lesley (Sweet Little Knitted Things) came to visit and she brought along a family heirloom in the form of this amazingly hand crafted, hand knitted patchwork blanket. This blanket I have to say is visually stunning... it has  beautiful colours you could want and each patchwork piece has been loving crafted to create a bespoke knitted designs on it. What was lovely was that I could literally choose from copious amounts of colour ways and pick and choose which knitted stich I wanted in what format on which ever cushion I chose. It was the most liberating process.  You can keep up to date with Lesley on her Sweet Little Knitted Things facebook page.  A little time later 3 cushions appeared in my selected colour ways and designs. So lets not talk about them any more lets just see them in all their glory.

Purple Passion Felted Bowl Makes its Debut

Hi Everyone, well the first on my new range of felted bowls is finally here and is now launched in my Folksy store.

Purple Passion The Felted Bowl, was certainly born out of my ever growing passion for working with felt.

I love the fact that you can create so many wonderful objects simply by shaping and moulding the fibres with your hands.

The ancient technique is not to be forgotten in our war against climate change, as its kind to the environment. The wool fibres come from the sheep's fleece, which grows back and therefore is a sustainable source. All of my wool fibres come from ethical suppliers whom care about the sheep's welfare.

Stay tuned over the next few days for the release of two more felted bowl's.
