Maggie found an old quilt.

From this quilt she has been inspired to design

and write this book.

She has brought together an amazing mix of projects

with a theme and colours running through them. 

I can honestly say I just love looking at this book.

It has such warmth and homely feel about it.

I love her use of natural materials and different techniques

to design projects that are simply inspirational.

I can honestly say that I want to make everything

in this book.

I love the muted tones that bring each of the

projects together.

I don't think the book is for a beginner sewer/quilter

but if you are already a sewer/quilter I am sure

you will enjoy this book.

Each of the projects has a materials list

and instructions for cutting the project

and how to assemble it.

At the back of the book patterns of each

of the projects.

There is a fantastic mix of projects to make;

• Thistle Down Moon Wool Mat
• Thistle Down Moon Hooked Rug
• Anna of Bellingham, 1812, Sampler
• Think-of-Me Heart Sewing Case
• Old Velvet Pincushions
• Sweet Velvet Peapod Pinkeep
• Wall-Hung Sewing Necessity
• Penny-Topped Stools
• Little Pocket Necklace
• Easy Folded Linen Pocket
• My Little Hanging Garden
• Butcher's Apron
• Four Garden Pillows
• Flowerbed Quilt
• One Old Flower on Wool Pillow
• Flowers on the Windowsill Wool Mat
• Wood Frame
• Remains of the Day Tablerunner

I love this book.

The designs of the pages and the pictures

reflect the beautiful look of the projects.

The projects bring such a feeling of home

in them.

They have such a simple look to them but with

such a beautiful picture of nature.

Maggie has used a mix of materials

to create a unique look that runs

right through the book.

The feeling throughout the book

is a feeling of nature, peace and beauty.

A truly thoughtful and beautiful book.
