Each project comes with clear, step-by-step directions for turning her inventive designs into wearable pieces and useful household items. Among them are a skirt built from sideways squares, a blouse with a prairie feel, an apron for the kitchen, a patchwork quilt, and a bed for a pet. Full-color photographs guide you through the creative process, and the book is aimed at beginners and experienced stitchers alike.
