Reviews

If there's a baby on the horizon in your family, this book by designers Marcea Owen and Janice Liljenquist will ensure that they are welcomed into the world surrounded by handcrafted goodness. Instructions are provided for 20 different projects, including quilts, cushions, bags for carrying baby's stuff around and some softies to cuddle. Some are quick and easy--perfect for novices who have been inspired by the baby's birth to start crafting. Others will require a greater investment of time, but are still very achievable for a determined beginner. The instructions are detailed, and are illustrated with diagrams and photographs. The templates are provided full size on a tear-out pattern sheet inside the back cover.
