Tell me more about the quilt and what's included in the kit?

The quilt measures 56-1/2" square. 

Your special pink boxes are divided up into 9 sections and each will include all the necessary fabrics and delicious wools to make up sections of the quilt top along with a printed guide to include fabric swatches and how to sub-cut them. 

We have an array of scrumptious 100% wool fabrics that we have pre-felted and in some cases dyed for even greater colour matching to suit the original quilt, so you are ready to go! Alongside a lovely selection of quilting cottons, curated and chosen carefully especially for this quilt to echo Deirdre warming colour palette and style. Technique's will include wool applique and regular machine piecing for the blocks and piecing the top together. We will be including sizes of fabric for you to work on your blocks using the methods mentioned, extra will not be provided if you are using a different technique.

The Hat Creek Quilts book by Deirdre Bond Abel. The book includes includes the York Plains quilt pattern with full-size templates, along with 16 other lovely projects for you to make - so it's great value for money. 

A curated Aurifil 28wt thread set to blend seamlessly with our custom hand-dyed wools. The 28wt threads make a beautiful companion to wool applique work. The thicker weight of this thread allows the stitches to be visible. 

The kit assumes an understanding of basic applique and machine piecing, however there is guidance provided in Deirdre's book included. If you're new to wool applique, wool is an easier medium to work with than traditional needle-turn applique as there is no turning under to do! 

 

What is wool appliqué?

Wool appliqué gives a lovely homespun look to projects and can be used in place of cotton to give charming results to smaller projects and larger quilt designs. If you haven't tried wool applique before you'll be surprised how fun and simple it is to achieve. Wool does not fray so there is no need to add a seam allowance or turn under the edge of the appliquéd shapes. Use a simple hand-stitch or blanket stitch around each shape to sew into place. No need to worry about bias stems either, wool and bend to the curved strips you need them to.

It is important to note we will be using 100% felted wool (woven textile), not wool felt (non-woven textile). They are often interchangeably used but are different.  Wool felt is a strong, durable medium ideal for soft toys etc. We will be using felted wool. We will be pre-felting the wool for you (often you buy it in the shop un-felted and then you have to do this process at home which shrinks it so you have to account for that). This will then give our wool a delicate soft and fluffy texture which should be lovely to work with.

 

Do I need any other items to make the quilt?

You will need a basic sewing kit and Freezer Paper, I also found Roxanne basting glue very handy (linked below).
