Feature Photo - Telegraph Nov 11

What a week! With two consecutive features in the Daily Telegraph, plus a great write up in our local glossy mag, The Wealden Times – it’s full steam ahead at Old Threads.

So no doubt you’ve heard a bit about the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement? Well, with so much of it aimed at small businesses like ours, we were thrilled to be able to put in our two pence worth! We won’t go into detail now, but if you’re interested in the bigger picture, it’s all online here:

Autumn Statement Pre-Budget Thoughts

Autumn Statement – 2011 Jury Gives It’s Feedback

However, if you’re less concerned with politics, don’t worry, what it all boils down to is that our beautiful quilts stand for much more than just another mass-produced product on the shelf. They’re one-of-a-kind and they have a fantastic story to tell…

Thankfully we have a lovely batch of quilts all finished and ready to go. So if you want one in time for Christmas, get your order in now ahead of the rush!

Keep an eye out for the article – it will be featured sometime around the 29th November to tie in with the Chancellor’s Autumn Review. Which, by the way, we are also being asked our humble opinion on!

We currently have 6 of each colour in stock, with an estimated turnaround time of 4 weeks on new batches. We will be limiting the ‘Once Upon A Time’ range to 300 editions, at which point we will release a new design, so get your orders in now for a Christmas present your little ones will really love!

We had a mad panic to get photos to the magazine team as typically the request for images came when both Sam and I were on holiday, a very rare occurance – cue mad attempts to upload photos from campsite facilities…luckily we got there in the end and received a very nice write-up. Thanks!

We finished the shoot for the quilts on Saturday – it took 2 runs in the end, the first one was on Camber Sands and involved getting a vintage bed down onto the beach (which nearly got washed away with a quickly rising tide!). The second came on Saturday where we completed the collection of images down in St Mary’s bay another beautiful stretch of the Kent coast. Mima was our beautiful, and most patient model, and looks delightlful in all the shots. And Piers Golden was our fantastic photographer, managing to find time to shoot in between commissions for the Sunday Times travel. So an enormous thankyou – the homepage slider shows a selection, but here are a few more to wet your whistles!

Night Flight – For feel-good children’s bedding, oldthreads.com recycles 600 thread-count first class airline duvet covers into stunning, 1950s-inspired toddler quilts. A memorable gift.

We’re also getting a mention in Virgin Atlantic’s September inflight magazine, so if you happen to be crossing the Atlantic this month, watch out.
