Easter cushion give-away & pop-up cushion shop

As a bit of an Easter present, I'm giving away a cushion from this marvellous array, below, all part of a mini pop-up craft fair happening next weekend in Covent Garden, central London.

So if you are nowhere near central London, this is your chance to get your hands on one. Read on – to win you just need to leave a comment underneath this post, with a link to your favourite interiors or design website – a shop, blog, or whatever – and I'll pick someone at random by scribbling all entries onto bits of paper and swishing them around in a hat, or maybe a mixing bowl...

The sale is being hosted by Holly and her partner, Anthony, who are trying to raise some money to go towards their fifth (and final), gruelling round of IVF (anyone who's been through that will know what I mean). They are such a happy, fun-loving, silly couple and would make spectacular parents – plus I'm desperate to be Auntie Kate... so am happy to do anything I can to support the cause.

Holly, whose beautiful collections I wrote about the other week, is a craft demon her flat has recently become a bit of a cushion factory: there are nearly 100 for sale, and just some of the beautiful designs are featured here. But it's not just cushions, it'll be a fun family day out too, as there are:

• home-made cakes
• home-knitted new baby clothes
• friendly owl door-stops (scroll to end to see)
• hand-made cards (scroll to end to see)
• a spectacular three-person human fruit machine to play with

So bring children, large and small alike...

All the cushions in the sale come with removable, washable covers and hollow-fibre inner pads. They all have backs in soft, luxurious different coloured fabrics, from felt to tweed to boiled wool. Designs include Japanese fabric, exclusive prints from the South Pacific and vintage limited editions.

How cool is this Spiderman cushion for a comic-mad child's bedroom: it's made from an 80s T-shirt, and I love the original Marvel label detail.

Prices start at £5 for a pack of five hand-made cards with envelopes (left), £20 for an owl doorstop (above) and the cushions go from £25 up to £35 for a rare print fabric, like the fantastic limited edition Warhol-esque Palm Corned Beef design, a specially commissioned print all the way from the Kingdom of Tonga, left.

I have my eye on this and a beautiful dog-print fabric, which you can see via the Facebook link below.
