Make a little sunshine, stitch by stitch.

Create a beautiful textile keepsake with the Quesbo Inca Sun Temple Pendant Craft Guide. Inspired by the colours and shapes of the Andes, this detailed project combines a soft orange satin sun, golden felt rays, a painted stepped border, a delicate teal bird and coral bellflowers.
