1 Comment

Do you need a quick project that doubles up as a great handmade gift? What about these 2 projects?

As we’re getting closer to Christmas both projects are perfect to give away.

You can use your favourite fabric for this or fabric scraps or even use some old denim jeans.

Have fun!

My book Turnabout Patchwork

“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

Download the tablet base (pdf). Using this base is optional.

Print and trace the template on a piece of cardboard.

It is recommended that you add some weight to the bag so it sits better. Rice, lentils, wheat, and the like should work well.
