Swatches
We really try to make sure our fabric photos are as color accurate as possible but monitors do vary ,so there may be differences in color quality from computer to computer.
If you are uncertain about the colorway or quality of a fabric and would like to have a small sample, I will be happy to provide you with up to five fabric swatches free of charge.
If you need more than five swatches I do charge a small fee: 0.25€ for each additional swatch and for more than 10 swatches I will ask you to pay the postage fees.

Product Care
All of our products are 100% cotton and are machine washable in cold water (30° or less) using a gentle soap( special quilt soap or baby shampoo) on a gentle wash cycle. We do not recommend drying products in the dryer.
We do recommend, however, that you prewash all fabric before using to avoid problems like colors running or shrinkage on a completed sewing project. This you really should do.
The quilts will withstand everyday gentle wear and tear but please handle them with care as would any high quality textile. Avoid putting the quilts in direct sunlight to maintain original color intensity. Please wash in cold water with gentle soap on a delicate wash cycle or by hand in the bathtub. Do not hang or wring a wet quilt. Please dry quilts flat. Do not dry clean quilts. To remove surface dirt between cleanings, quilts may be vacuumed.

Privacy
We want you to feel comfortable shopping and ordering from us. Your privacy will be respected and your security is a priority for us. Under no circumstances will we ever sell, distribute or trade customer information.
