Throwback Thursday with Precuts

Scrap Quilt with Valerie NesbittThis Scrap quilt from Valerie is a great little workshop from our archives in which Valerie uses pre-cuts, and it is now FREE TO VIEW. There is a 1930’s version hanging behind Valerie and  she works on a more modern red/white/blue option in the workshop itself;  AND to make it easy for you all, you can purchase kits for both through the workshop – they have been put together exclusively for us; so once the postman arrives you can start sewing straight away.
