Still Crazy for Baby
When a new member of the family arrives, life can get a little crazy--in the very best of ways! After all, this is a time for important things like baby talk and games of peekaboo. It’s also time to go a little crazy with quilt-making. Just like the quilts in the first Crazy for Baby book, #4161, these four quick and easy designs for Baby use playful print fabrics to make quilts that are big fun for you and that special little one. The piecing goes fast on First Step, Babysitter, and Play Date, and it takes just a little more time to add a perky line of prairie points to Giggles. We’re showing each of the four quilts in optional colorways, so you can see more of the wonderful ways that Baby’s quilts can come alive with prints and colors!
Debbie Mumm: I Care with Quilts
The most giving and caring women on the planet are quilt makers. This book by artist and designer Debbie Mumm focuses on quilts and projects that communicate a message of caring through their design, color choices, or concepts. Whether it's to support a cause or charity that's near and dear, an ailing loved one, or a friend who needs a little extra TLC, the 25 fast and fabulous projects in this book tell a story of love and caring.
The book features a variety of easy quilt piecing techniques and finishing options plus suggestions of nonprofit foundations that distribute donated quilts to specific causes. It is organized by theme, including military service, cancer awareness, heart health, babies, comfort, emergency blankets, and more.
Memories Sew Sweet
When creative interests merge, the results can be amazing. That's what happened when Sandy Berry decided to add images from her paper ephemera collection to quilts and pillows. Reproduced on computer printer fabric, the girls and women from Sandy's vintage photos, postcards, and trading cards show off their bonny hats and dresses to perfection. By adding fabric cutouts and other fun embellishments, Sandy made her designs one-of-a-kind.
The 14 projects include 6 quilts (Sweetheart Stars, Beth's Summer Basket, Dance of the Dragonflies, Passion for Postcards, Paper Doll Dresses, and Vintage Memories) and 8 pillows and sachets. Sandy's images are included, or you may use your own. Either way, your creations are destined to become heirlooms!
Freezer Paper Quilting
Freezer paper is a quilter’s best friend! The fact that it has a shiny side that will adhere to fabric when ironed, then is easily removed, means that freezer paper has a multitude of wonderful possibilities. It makes applique easy; it eliminates the need to make all those paper patterns for foundation piecing; it makes hand piecing quicker and easier because there is no need to trace templates onto your fabric. Machine or hand quilting can be quicker and more precise. And wonder of wonders, freezer paper makes it really easy to transfer photos onto fabric. This book has all the basic instructions plus 29 fun projects, including My Flower Garden, Mini Quilt Greeting Cards, Log Cabin Zoo, Christmas Stars & Angels, and Quilted Memories.
