OH THE PLACES YOU’LL GO

Summer is finally here and I, for one, am thrilled to be swapping jumpers and umbrellas for summer dresses. Life in the Ashford household has also taken on a whole new dimension... we’ve got our very first puppy! Leo is our gorgeous Maltipoo (pictured below) and he’s bringing us joy and laughter every single day. We can’t wait to take him out and explore the British countryside and coastlines as soon as he’s had his vaccinations. It seems that travelling abroad is continuing to prove difficult this year, but with the wonders of modern technology, it’s amazing how we can soak up the culture and traditions of far-away places without even leaving our homes. So, I thought I’d take you on a virtual tour to some incredible places and share some traditional quilting techniques and history along the way, all from the comfort of your own home.
