Welcome to the Caledonia Designs Web Site.  My name is Rill, I'm also known as "the Little Princess" because I am.  I help mom all the time with her quilt's, I'm in charge of Testing & Quality Control, so I know quite a lot about it all and I'm going to show you around her quilt pages.  While your here you will be able to see pictures of quilts, wallhangings and other quilted items that PJ has made.

Caledonia Designs features a wide variety of quilted products for the home.  In addition to traditional items such as bed quilts, wall hangings and tree skirts, we also have a number of additional items including pillows, ornaments and coordinated table sets which include a table runner with place mats, napkins, and coasters (all items in table sets are also available individually).  Many of our items feature quilting patterns based on Celtic knot designs.  The Celtic knot designs used in quilting have been researched.  The designs are based on designs found in ancient Pictish stone carvings, the Book of Kells, Lindisfarne Gospels and Book of Durrow.  The quilts and wall hangings, and other items, have utilized traditional block designs, but often with a special theme or occasion behind the selection of patterns.  For example, an "Animal Quilt"  quilt using traditional animal and bird blocks was created for a niece who will become a veterinarian. Other quilts have been made as wedding gifts with the bride selecting the block pattern and fabrics.
