Jolly Robin FPP Cushion or Wall Hanging Kit

Wings extended, Mr Jolly Robin flies gracefully through the air, a festive bauble clutched in his beak by a string. Construct this jolly robin using Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) and turn into a mini quilt or cushion. FPP is an easy machine sewing method best used for intricate designs which can be difficult to achieve with any other method. If you can sew following a line, you can most definitely FPP! You can turn your Jolly Robin into a cushion, wall hanging, or simply frame it as the lovely piece of art it is. Instructions for all options included.

IN THIS KIT
Twelve different Liberty Tana Lawn® fabrics for the FPP.
Festive twine for the bauble string detail.
Pre-printed FPP patterns on the required 50gsm paper.
