You’ll practise core skills like accurate cutting, a consistent ¼" seam, and neat pressing, then watch everything click into place as the blocks line up. By the final stitch, you’ll have a handmade centrepiece ready for everyday meals, celebrations, and story-filled evenings at the table.

“Dreaded putting this project down!”
“It's been a while since I had a dreaded having to put down a project and then to be pins and needles until I could return to it! That was the effect that making this potholder had on me! Can't wait to make the matching potholder and then a few more!”
