You can select from a natural or blue linen lead colours.
The kit contains all the materials you need to make your very own slow stitched mini quilt or wall hanging. Beautiful linen, cottons, a Milliner's needle and backing fabrics are sent to you in a sturdy, reusable cardboard carton.
All teaching is through an instructional video where you can follow along at your own pace, stop, start and listen again as often as you like.
Rebekah guides you gently through the following techniques:
- Constructing a quilt sandwich
- Approaches to composition
- Raw edge appliqué
- Hand quilting
- Binding with the back of the fabric
- Decorative stitch techniques
Each Slow Stitched Quilt Kit contains these items to help you create your lovely quilt.
- 35cm x 35cm linen backing fabric
- 30cm x 30cm linen top fabric
- 30cm x 30cm cotton wadding
- Scrap fabrics for appliqué shapes
- Perle cotton grey
- Perle cotton beige
- Milliner’s needle
You will also need pins, scissors (or rotary cutter and mat), means of marking fabric, like tailors chalk, a pencil or a fabric pen and safety pins.
This isn't a project with a time limit. It's designed so that you can do a bit when you like, until you finish your quilt to fit with the rhythm of your life.
