Llandaff’s architect John Pollard Seddon was the son of a highly successful cabinet making and furniture manufacturing dynasty. His father was Thomas Seddon (the Second) and JP Seddon’s brother was the PreRaphaelite painter, Thomas Seddon (the Third). Through his brother, JP Seddon became connected to, and worked with, William Holman Hunt, William Morris, Ford Madox Brown, Edward Burne Jones, Val Prinsep and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
In 1853, Thomas Seddon (the Third) travelled to Egypt with William Holman Hunt to paint. Seddon and Hunt camped near the Pyramids. From a hill looking up the valley with a view of the biblical sites of the Garden Of Gesthamane and the Mount of Olives, Seddon painted Jerusalem and the Valley of Jehoshaphat from the Hill of Evil Counsel.
In 1856 Seddon returned to Cairo again, but died there on 23th November of dysentery, leaving JP Seddon bereft. In 1857 Thomas Seddon’s works were exhibited by the Society of Arts, to great general acclaim and John Ruskin’s highly favourable critique sealed their public approval. Jerusalem and the Valley of Jehoshaphat was placed in the National Gallery. Thomas Seddon’s paintings are now in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, and The Tate Gallery.

Last week creating my beautiful bridal bouquet with my mum whilst wearing my little quilted jacket made from our Jean quilting design 🌿 We will have to show you all our wedding tables, we re-printed Jean in a sage green especially for the wedding (the small low key wedding escalated a little..) and created our own napkins for each guest, plus a tablecloth for the cake table! 👰🏽♀️ Having it all tied together with the same design was so special, especially as I’d named the design after my lovely Nanny Jean - who was absolutely always wearing green 🌿 Now I can wear my little jacket and always think of my wedding! 🤍 It’s a gorgeous quilting design and fabric, let us know if you’d like an in depth quilted jacket tutorial 🪡🧵

Our French floral designs are stunning, we’ve got a French archive which dates to the late 1800s- early 1900s which is jam packed full of beautiful designs that are lovingly kept in the archive 🫶🏻 We wanted to recolour a few into this gorgeous sage green colour, mainly because, in honestly, it’s my wedding colours and I wanted to have them on my wedding table - perks of the job! 👰🏽 So these are our designs Dot, Jean and Hearts & Kisses, three of our top favourites out the archive 🌿 We love seeing them restored back to life, the colours vibrant once more, we can just imagine them in the French countryside as they once maybe were, now we produce them as fat quarters which all tone together beautifully for quilting projects - we’d love to see what you make with them, don’t forget to tag us! 🫶🏻
