"I have made the harlequin stocking and a small quilt from Kate's range. I also gave a small quilt kit to my neice. I am an experienced sewist but my nice an absolute novice. She adored making the quilt and ran it up over the Christmas bank holiday last year in just 3 days. She has since gone on to be inspired to make many other patchwork items thanks to the excellent explanations afforded in Kate's accompanying booklet. Cannot recommend highly enough."
