Great book with simple to understand quick small quilt projects. My favorite is the bookmarker. I mean it's combining two of my faves! Reading and Quilting. Win win.
In addition to the book marker I see a mug rug in my future.
I am pretty sure I have Anne of Green Gables Fabric as well as Harry Potter Fabric in my craft room. They will be perfect for both the book marker and mug rug.
I truly appreciate that this book was not written for a pro. It was written for your average Jane. Any quilter can appreciate this book.
Great book! Easy instructions, good illustrations and fun projects. I have tried out several of them, and they all turned out great. So great in fact that I asked the local library to get a book for our sewing group.
Lots of projects to choose from, for a range of skills. I like the inclusion of a full list of what is needed, and step by step instructions. The techniques section at the end is helpful.
