The Slow Stitched Mini Quilt Kit is a soothing sewing project and thoughtfully designed craft kit, offering a calm, creative introduction to hand quilting. Inspired by Japanese stitching techniques such as Boro and Sashiko, it is perfect for all levels.
Created especially for adults with no previous sewing experience, this kit has been developed in collaboration with talented textile artist Rebekah Johnston, whose work centres on emotional wellbeing and mindful making.
Rebekah is known for her beautifully quilted textiles that explore themes of emotional wellbeing, and this shared ethos is at the heart of the kit. We’ve loved working together to create a project that is as nourishing for the mind as it is satisfying to make.
Entirely hand sewn with no sewing machine required, the process is intentionally slow and meditative. You may choose to create your own unique design or follow Rebekah’s thoughtfully developed composition—either way, the emphasis is on curiosity, ease and enjoyment rather than perfection.
The kit contains all the materials you need to make your own slow stitched mini quilt or wall hanging. Inside you’ll find a carefully curated selection of beautiful linen fabrics, backing fabrics, two spools of Perle thread and a Milliner’s needle. Everything is packed into a sturdy, reusable cardboard carton, perfect for storing your project or materials once complete.
All teaching is delivered through a clear, instructional video link, allowing you to work at your own pace. You can pause, rewind and revisit the guidance as often as you like, making the kit ideal for beginners or anyone returning to hand sewing after time away.

Rebekah gently guides you through the following techniques:

By the end of the process, you’ll have a finished mini quilt and a grounding experience of slow, mindful stitching—along with skills you can return to again and again.
