The Lockdown Blues - Again!

Once again, Calderdale, along with Leeds, Manchester and parts of Lancashire are under lockdown again. Boo! Just as things were starting to get back to a more normal way of life. I know it is for our own good but I can’t help but be very disappointed. So, anyway, just for fun, I thought I would print my own commemorative social distancing mug to remind me of these strange times. Would you like one? Message me and I can get one printed for you :)

From Todmorden with Love

Yesterday was print day at the Quilty household and the topic was All Things Todmorden with a specific request to use the iconic, community spirited and Incredible Edible deliciousness ‘Kindness’ signs. These coasters, placemats and (very chunky) mugs - see photos below - will be available from Todmorden Information Centre as from tomorrow, 3rd August.

All items are individually printed limited editions and may be subject to variation.

Harriet's House Portraits and other Illustrated Gifts

Since lockdown started, which sorrowfully heralded the end to any arty activity on my calendar, I have been steadily building up a new venture painting houses. Which is fortunate because I love painting houses! So it has been an absolute joy every time!

The only problem with selling portraits on my website, though, is that Squarespace don’t make allowances for any extras, such as furry companions. I also had this idea that, for anyone who was interested, I could also print bags, coasters and placemats of the house as an extra for gifts (for example, to a daughter who has left home and is a bit homesick).

But never fear, Etsy is here! Thankfully, Etsy is very hot on any requirements such as these, in fact, choices could go on forever, but hopefully I have added the most applicable ones for your needs.

If you are reading this and would like me to paint your house, boat, wigwam, and not just for you, but as a gift for a loved one, you can still order from the Shop section here on my site. But if you want any of those extras, or indeed, anything else that I could tweak the dropdown menu for but haven’t thought of, then visit my Etsy shop right here and go to the featured items: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HarrietQuilty

Enjoy Christmas and have fun at New Year!

Is it really this time of year? I swear time goes faster and faster with each and every year!

I would like to wish all of my customers a fantastic festive break and a huge thank you for your support over the year.

Shop will be closed until after the new year. You will be able to continue to place orders, but I will physically be away from my workroom (on holiday, yay!!) until 6th January.

Art & Crafters Creative Christmas Fayre

YES! I think that needs no more info other than I will be selling my work along some stunning, beautiful gorgeous work and their creatives, including Clare Pearl, Elaine Hook, Dorothy Margot, Sue Menconi, Diana Ruiz and, since I am still recruiting, maybe a few more :) The workshop is free, although donations would be gratefully accepted to cover the cost of the materials.
