We have a real treat for you in this week’s craft preview, from the renowned Kaffe Fassett.

It’s a must for our quilters out there! 

As he writes: “All the reds in our fabric collection are great for this easy-to-make quilt. And it is a good way to use large-scale prints.”

If you prefer to use another colour combination, there are other fabric choices available in the range.

If you would like to view the fabrics or order direct, visit www.ladysewandsew.co.uk.
