Every bed should have a real mattress
and pillow set. I hate glued down bedding and try and keep mine as real as possible. I use fine striped materials
to give the ticking effect.
I stuff the mattresses with wadding
or bird sand.
When it comes to sheets etc, then I like lace or frills and
of course antiqued bedding for realism.
There are many polycottons on the market in various shades that
help create the perfect colour match for any room.
The reasons for making real
pillow cases and sheets enables you to dress or stage your room by crumpling the sheets etc. Or even have your lady
of the house or maid stripping the bed in one room.
"The
Cotswold Quilt" takes it's name from the quaint area of the Cotswolds, abundantly enriched with chocolate box houses
and is a traditionally pieced quilt. Delicate patterned cottons help to create a design in
two colours with a larger border. Lap or full quilts can be made using this
design.

Hand Embroidered Bed
Spreads can add a touch
of glamour.
If you are dressing an historical
house, then blackwork stitching could add realism.
This Quilt was made for a Project
in the Dolls House and Miniature Scene Magazine. Delightful to make and stunning on a bed in an old cottage.

Each set is designed with a different
look!
Sometimes the bed is left unmade!
