Blackwell is an Arts & Crafts House at Bowness -On -Windermere
Designed in 1898 by Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott (1865 – 1945)
Blackwell was completed in 1901 for Sir Edward Holt, and used as his holiday home.
Blackwell was the largest commission Baillie Scott had undertaken at this early point in his career.
He was influenced by William Morris and John Ruskin in the Arts & Crafts Style
Before Blackwell his ideas had been produced as watercolours and drawings.
Sir Edward Holt gave Baillie Scott a unique opportunity to put them into a beautiful building.
The White Drawing Room at Blackwell is just wonderful.
Walking through the house to this white room, it is a real contrast from the rest of the house, which is quite dark.
This room it is so light with a wonderful view of Lake Windermere.
Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott designed this beautiful room with flowing columns decorated at the top in the true Arts & Crafts style.
Blackwell is a lovely house to visit.

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! 🫶🏻
