Sizzix Quilt Kit with Half Hexagon Die

The Moonlight Quilt Kit is our latest Sizzix Patchwork Quilt Kit. Based around the Sizzix Half Hexagon die the quilt kit includes all the Kaffe Fassett Collective fabric to make the quilt centre, border and binding. Full instructions are included on how to make the quilt. A paper template is also included so that you can make the quilt if you do not have the Half Hexagon Sizzix Die. But because of the speed and accuracy of cutting using the Sizzix Big Shot and the Bigz Die we do recommend this method. The Moonlight quilt kit is a visually stunning quilt the really sets off the Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics.

Zandra Rhodes Lace Mountain Fabrics

Zandra Rhodes has designed a new fabric range for Free Spirit called Lace Mountain. Zandra Rhodes is a major influencer of the world of fashion!  She is also the founder of the Fashion and Textile Museum in London.  Lace Mountain, Zandra’s debut collection with Free Spirit collection is full of bold and vibrant designs and colors.  Zandra shares her inspiration behind the new collection, “My inspiration comes from nature, and my mother who sewed and made dresses as home. So my style is interpreted in my own, very special and personal way – whether it’s “Frilly Flowers” or “Zigzag Stars”, my magical meandering wiggles invade all the patterns. For this collection I have delved into my vast Rhodes repertoire of wiggles, stitching, frills and flowers to specially produce wonderful memories that can be magically sewn together in a myriad of ways.”

Lace Mountain represents memories of Australia’s Ayers Rock (The “Lace Mountain”), and the spinifex grass that grows around it. To browse our current selection of Lace Mountain Fabrics click here.
