The Quilter's Little Library – Reference & Storage Tins

ll the little things a quilter needs to know, right where they need them.

Ever forgotten the standard seam allowance? Needed a quick fabric conversion? Or found yourself wondering what on earth someone means by QAYG?

We've put together three handy quilting reference guides, each printed on the lid of a beautifully designed metal storage tin.

Practical enough to earn a permanent place beside your sewing machine, and pretty enough to leave on display, these tins keep useful quilting information close at hand while providing storage for threads, bobbins, needles and all those little sewing essentials.
