How to Cut and Sew Tumbler Shapes with Valerie Nesbitt

As easy as sewing squares together but with a much more interesting finished result. Valerie takes inspiration to make a small table runner to start with, but then she has raid on her stash of pre-cuts to make several small baby quilts, pictures of which you can find in the ‘Show & Tell’ section – click here.
