Projects for the entire home
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Unlike many craft books that focus on one project, Shirley provides details (and patterns in the back of the book!) to make a variety of items for the home. Inspired by her 1889 Queen Anne Victorian home, Shirley shares how the house led her to create a stenciled satin quilt, teapot cozy, bordered napkins, a muffin warmer, silk embroidered bell pull, appliqued table runner, quilted place mats, appliqued panel screen, and more. My favorites are the teddy bear made of ribbons (I love beautiful ribbons but don't know what to do with them sometimes) and a velvet covered memory album.This is a great book for someone who wants to buy only one book, but learn how to do lots of things. Instructions seemed clear and easy to me, but I do have some experience in many areas. Still, I think most beginners will find these projects quite manageable. More experienced crafters will find inspiration in the way Shirley approached her house's decorating needs and how she used the motifs already in her home to design complimentary items.
