Garland Hoop Art Kit in Riley Blake Flowers - Curved English Paper-piecing Kit - 8"

Sit back, relax and enjoy a slow hand sewing project to make this pretty hoop art kit, the perfect gift for a nursery, child's room or just to let someone know they are loved - with a choice of centre motifs, you can make it into whatever you wish!

Made using a curved English paper-piecing technique, this beautiful design features fussy-cut motifs from the cutest vintage-inspired prints. The hand pieced garland is then appliquéd onto a Linen Solid Dye fabric, hand embroidered and finally hand quilted using a simple running stitch.

This kit includes three co-ordinating prints, background fabric, backing muslin and wadding, an 8" wooden hoop, embroidery floss, pre-cut paper templates and full instructions. There is also a page of different Motifs to choose from to embroider onto the centre of your garland - or you could add a personalised motif of your own - for example the name and birth date of a new arrival as you can see in the image above. If you would like me to design a personalised motif for you for an additional £2.00, add your message above in the text box. I will print it out and include it with the kit.

You will need;
• Temporary glue pen which you can add to your order above
• Thread for piecing, which you can purchase here
• Gentle fabric starch, available here

Finished size: 8" round
