Patchwork kits


Here is something I have been working on for some time! Handsewn patchwork kits for anyone who would like to try patchwork but doesn't know where to start.



The kit contains an illustrated instruction booklet, cardboard templates to cut your fabric and pre cut papers for your fabric pieces, just add the fabric of your choice. These patterns are great for using up scraps of fabric or you can buy new, full details are supplied in the kit



There are two designs available, 'Boxes' and 'Illuminated Windows'.
They are available in my Folksy shop and would make a great present for a budding quilter!

Pincushion

Here's a pincushion I've been making, it has hand quilting and sequins. It is quilted with some lovely hand dyed thread and weighted so it stays put when you are using it. It has a mini pincushion attached which contain emery sand which cleans and sharpens your pins and needles. Its now in my shop
