I picked up this new craft book Pillows and Quilts by Jo Colwill in Mary Ryans the other day.
I became interested in it when I saw it on Lynette Anderson's blog when she was teaching a class in Jo Colwill's shop.
I've been looking for some ideas to make some new cushions for our house and with the name 'pillows and quilts' I thought I couldn't go wrong. There are a mixture of pillows and quilt projects in the book and they are all really nice. The author does some lovely applique projects and I especially like the Wobbly Dog quilt.
As for cushions - there are some good ideas for different shapes (instead of the standard square cushion that I use) and some different finishes using buttons.
It's another great addition to my craft library which has now expanded to two full shelves in my studio.
Home for Christmas....
With Christmas fast approaching, I've been going through some of my Christmas patterns and updating them.
This one - Home for Christmas - was only in printed format but is now also available in pdf format as well.
The pdf format is also available on my Etsy shop.
Until next time
Lyn
