Quilting is a wonderful art form with many different designs. These quilts are made of cotton or cotton silk by Purkal Women's Group (PSSS) in India. They are interlined and washable, though, as they are handmade, it's best not to overwash them. The back of the quilts are generally floral print cotton.

If you'd like to see the quilts, we have a range on show in our Brighton Marina Fair Trade Shop, but as they're popular they can come in and go out fairly quickly. So, we thought we'd also put up a gallery and you can then enjoy looking at the women's work and, if there's a quilt you like, which has already been sold, please email or phone us on 07401 593574 and we can describe it in more detail.

If the quilt you like is out of stock, it is possible to order another one, to be made especially for you. We will need to charge you a deposit and, as the items are all handmade, there may be a slight variation in colour. You need to be happy about this before you order and, again, we can talk to you about it.

The photos are not necessarily perfectly straight because the quilts and playmats are made of cotton and I have photographed them by hanging them up. Hopefully these will give you a good idea of what they look like.
