Sewing for All Seasons

Description

From autumn's bursts of orange and red to spring's lush greens, summer's long-lasting golden light and winter's cool whites and grays, the changing seasons provide endless artistic inspiration. In Sewing for All Seasons, author Susan Beal offers 24 beautiful projects imbued with the spirit of each season. Home sewists will enjoy stitching a cozy patchwork throw for autumn, a bright gardening apron to welcome spring, a colorful picnic quilt for summer, and soft woolen slippers for those chilly winter nights. With how-to illustrations, helpful templates and patterns, tons of color, and eye-catching photography, this book will leap off shelves and inspire crafters all year long.

Susan Beal writes for CRAFT, Stitch, ReadyMade, CraftStylish and iVillage.com, and is the founder of westcoastcrafty.com. She is the author of World of Geekcraft and has contributed to Handmade Nation, Applique Your Way and Adventures in Vintage Craft. She is the president of her local quilt guild, teaches crafts at Maker Faire and the Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Susan Beal's Sewing for All Seasons is pretty close to perfect when it comes to hitting a balance of what I look for in a crafty book: lots of inspiration, modernity, realistic skill requirements and desirability of finished projects. -Janel Laban, Apartment Therapy
