Home is where the heart is...
Forget tacky gifts this Valentine’s Day and buy lovely home furnishings instead! They’ll last much longer, so are better value for money, and there are some great options in the shops, like this fun heart shaped cushion, from John Lewis.
Aptly named the Sweetheart cushion, the red cushion is decorated with lots of contrasting wool crochet flowers, with sparkly irridescent glass beads in the centre of the flowers.
The heart shaped cushion measures 32cm by 32cm and is £25 from John Lewis.
Multicoloured patchwork quilt
One of the trends currently making a comeback in homes and interiors is patchwork. You can’t get more traditional than a patchwork quilt and this cosy multicoloured quilt is a great example.
The quilt is made up for square pieces of multicoloured patchwork in a variety of fabrics, including flannels, cottons, tickings and prints. If you were using this on a bed, or to wrap yourself up in on the sofa on a cold day, the quilt would provide a decent amount of warmth, as it’s a medium to heavy weight.
The back of the quilt is lined with cotton flannel fabric in a striped design (blue on ecru) and it’s filled with cotton wadding. It measures 265cm by 265cm.
You can find the patchwork quilt on sale at Toast for £295.

The Provence patchwork cushion is on sale from Cape Henley for £20.
