Fine Cell Work
New Quilt Design and English Heritage turn to Fine Cell Work
We were delighted when this quilt arrived from HMP Wandsworth. It totally unexpected and not a comissioned piece and the men that worked on it under the supervision of one of our quilting instructors also gave it a unique contribution of their own by using standard issue prison shirt material!
The quilt has been bought by a long standing FCW customer who is very taken with the design and the orginality of some of the fabrics used!
Byland Abbey Inn, York
We we pleased to hear from the English Heritage last month when they got in touch to ask if we would help them find some cushions to complete the refurbishment of this Inn which was established in the twelfth century, the Inn sits quietly nestled at the foot of the rolling Hills of Hambleton in the company of the historic Byland Abbey.
Tori Reeve, Arts Curator at ET choose De Morgan designs to fit in with the traditional style of the inn. The photo here shows just a couple of them in situ although lots more are now resting through the hotel.
We were delighted to have been of help and hope to visit the Inn very soon to see them in their glory. For a good look around the Byland Abbey Inn, visit

Tapestry Finishing & Cushion Making Service
Have you ever been given a tapestry or needlepoint kit as a gift, or bought one yourself only to start it but stop half or even a quarter of the way through? If this sounds like a familiar scenario then our tapestry finishing service might just prove of interest to you.
Our stitchers love working on our designs but they also enjoy seeing something different from time to time and in particular the challenge of successfully completing something that has already been started.
One of stitchers HMP Kingston recently completed a tapestry featuring Zarafa, the giraffe who was led from Egypt to Paris in the 17th century. He was absolutely delighted to have been given the project, and we sent him the story of the animal's amazing voyage, so he could understand the backdrop to the wonderful scene he was stitching. It was completed in record time and the tapestry looked amazing on completion, the customer was delighted and the stitcher enjoyed the challenge.
If you have a tapestry that needs to be finished then please do get in touch and we'll be happy to quote you a price.
