Two are ready to ship right now, and two are available for pre-order. More options are coming later this week, but I couldn’t wait to share these beauties with you.Whether you’re sewing along in the Faefolk Quilt Class or just planning your next quilt, these curated kits make fabric placement easy and oh-so-pretty. I'll be using the first one while the class is running.🧵 Shop the Faefolk Kits: https://meanderandmake.com/kits/faefolk-quilt/
I don’t usually make pouches, but I had the urge I don’t usually make pouches, but I had the urge to try something different. Quilted a simple grid on Wild Bloom Drama and stitched it up into these little quilted pouches. And honestly… I’m kind of obsessed. 💕
