Hard to believe it, but it’s true: today I am writing my 450th blog post. This is something of a celebration for me. There is a chance that some of you have been with me since the beginning in Summer 2014 (thank you so much if that’s you) but I’m guessing that even you will probably not have read every single one, so today I’m offering a ‘selection box’ of Amanda Jane Textiles posts for you to enjoy.
