Introducing Spring 2025

This post is rather late as I have been enjoying Costa Del Cornwall and trying to make the most of the glorious sunshine. Last week we launched our Spring 2025 collection which included two new Liberty fabrics and plenty of fun cushions and quilts with stripy trims. We have kept the collection small with lots of coordinating pieces that also work well with our classic range of Liberty prints and linens. I was lucky enough to work with stylist Fliss (Ottistyling) and Rob-got-it-in-one-shot Heron in our home in Cornwall. We literally turned a tiny corner of my sitting room into a little studio using large MDF boards painted in peachy pink.

Liberty fabrics ‘Annabella - Blue’ and ‘Colleen’s Orchard’ have been introduced for Spring 2025. ‘Annabella’, a classic 1930s floral print, redrawn from a tiny fabric swatch into an all-over pattern of mixed flowers. This particular version features a beautiful colour pallet of blues and reds. We think this print co-ordinates well with Liberty fabric ‘Poppy and Daisy Blue’ and have combined the fabrics in a stunning quilt with a small ruffle in blue stripe cotton. We have also created a very fancy double ruffle cushion which includes these dainty and delicious liberty fabrics. Annabella Blue would also look beautiful combined with our striped linen in Seaside Stripe. For a gorgeous bedding set why not combine a valance or fitted sheet in Seaside Stripes with a duvet set in Annabella Blue.

‘Colleens Orchard’ is part of Liberty of London’s ‘Retold’ Collection that celebrates 150 years of the iconic brand. The print captures the essence of summer with juicy cherries strewn across leafy branches in a pretty pallet of pink, green and yellow. We love this pretty print mixed up with pink and green stripey cushions. The collection includes a fabulous reversible quilt in ‘Colleens Orchard’ and ‘Mitsi Valeria’ for a pop of sugary pink. We would suggest combining Colleen’s Orchard with pieces made from Liberty fabric ‘Poppy and Daisy Pink’ as well as our green stripe linen' ‘Wimbledon’

Our fabulous new bolsters deserve a mention here. Handmade from premium cotton in giant blue checks and green stripe they are a great addition to your cushion collection and particularly good for cranky old back pain!

When you have a spare moment, please go and take a look at our new spring collection here. I hope that you are enjoying this beautiful and much needed sunshine and are getting ready for your Easter chocolate fest!

September in the studio

September feels like the beginning of the year to many of us who have grown up here in the UK. Memories of stepping into a new school class in shiny new shoes with sharpened pencils has firmly placed September as the month of fresh starts. January is definitely not qualified to fulfill this role with such short sluggish days that make us want hide from the world in our burrows under blankets and eating biscuits. September in the Poppy and Honesty studio will be a month of developing new ideas including our Autumn range as well as working on minimizing fabric waste.

We are currently curating and road testing our Autumn range to be launched in early October with Dee Campling. Alongside our perennial favourite Liberty fabrics and linens we will be adding more patterns and textures. You can look forward to floral prints in warm palettes of terracotta pink and greens alongside cosy checkered linens and sumptuous velvets. We will be bringing out a full collection of bed linen that will enable our customers to create their own aesthetic whether this is mix and maximalist or a paired back scheme. We will also be launching a new range of linen napkins and tablecloths perfect for candle lit meals together as the nights draw in. Our OekoTex Linen is an ideal choice for everyday dining as it is very absorbent and easy to launder.

Poppy and Honesty are also working on developing an online fabric shop. We try our hardest to minimize remnants and develop our range to make best use of the fabrics that we have. However we do have a large stock of Liberty of London Tana Lawn pieces that range in size and are not currently suitable for our purposes. I hate to see these beautiful fabrics piled up in boxes on the studio floor and would love to think of them worked into patchwork and other textile projects. Autumn is the perfect time to kickstart a new creative project and patchwork quilts are my absolute favourite things to make and keep.

We will keep you up to date with all the happenings at Poppy and Honesty here on our blog as well as on our social media channels.

Sending love to all of of you taking new steps and getting used to new things this September.

Strawberry Fields Forever

Liberty fabric ‘Paysanne Blossom’ is one of the stars of our Spring/ Summer Collection 2024. This gorgeous print features juicy red strawberries amongst pretty blossom against a sky blue background. We think that this is the perfect fabric to bring light and sunshine into your home at any time of year. However if there was ever a pattern to shout SUMMER, it’s ‘Paysanne Blossom’.

Our linen in ‘Wimbledon’ compliments the pretty strawberry print beautifully. The classic stripes in green and white against the soft blue liberty print create a seamless and delicate aesthetic. The image above shows a small quilt over the end of a single bed with ‘Paysanne Blossom’ on one side and ‘Wimbledon’ on the reverse. If you want to add a splash of bold colour, you could add a Big Top Cushion in Red or a fitted sheet in Liberty fabric ‘Theresa’.

It is difficult to capture the true colour of Liberty’s ‘Paysanne Blossom’. It might be worth noting that our lifestyle images are taken with completely natural light and very little filtering. Here at Poppy and Honesty we are always happy to send out complimentary swatches to help with your tricky decisions.

Wishing everyone a lovely week. It looks like we might be treated to some sunshine at last! Strawberries and cream can’t be far behind.
