Ellie Evans's pin cushions have a homespun
charm. The perfect present for any
quilter, each one combines digitally
printed, remnant and vintage fabrics. Not
only do they keep your pins safe, the
cushions are filled with emery sand which
conveniently sharpens the pins. And if
you are forever losing your needles, keep
them tucked away in a patchwork
needlecase. www.selvedge-drygoods.org |
If you love quilts but have never visited the
Festival of Quilts at the NEC then you
have a real treat in store. 250 companies selling quilting supplies, master classes
and workshops plus a host of gallery
exhibitions mean inspiration is guaranteed.
We have 5 pairs of tickets to give away
to win email assistant@selvedge.org.
