Hexy Cushion Kit in Pips - English Paper Piecing (EPP) Hexagon Cushion Kit

This patchwork kit is a great introduction to English paper-piecing. This traditional skill harks back to the very beginnings of the craft, where quilters would sit for hours cutting out their shapes, then thread basting them onto papers before sewing them together. They would then unpick all that basting before the quilting even began! Phew!

Thankfully, these days new techniques and clever short cuts make this method a lot quicker than it used to be... not that you have to rush it of course, this is a project you can take with you wherever you go - a long car journey, to your quilt group, or even on holiday, anywhere where you can relax and enjoy this slow(ish) and therapeutic craft.
