I'm very excited that a few of my patterns are now available in this fabulous new book called Pretty in Patchwork Holidays. First it was only available as e-book but since a week or two you can get the printed version of the book in online stores as well as in 'real' book stores. Of course I'm totally biased but I honestly think this book is a great addition to your crafty bookshelf.
There are so many original and beautiful modern patchwork patterns in this book, ranging from small projects like my Polar bear ornament (this bear is quite popular I believe!)....
....to beautiful quilt throws like this one, it's called Christmas in the City, by John Adams (aka Quiltdad) who is also the author of the book. And while some patterns are definitely Christmas patterns there are also patterns in this book for items you can use for the whole winter season (see examples above) or adjust to other occasions like Halloween. A lot of the patterns also are great for gifts like this cute apron by Cathy Gaubert.
And here's my other contribution to the book: a Hedgehog softie with festive pillowcase.
The book has beautiful photography throughout and it sure is a fantastic source of holiday sewing inspiration. I'm so chuffed that I'm part of it!
I've got this book and love it ~ need to get started on some Christmas goodies!
ReplyDeleteOh great! Are you going to make something from the book?
DeleteI'm going to have to get this book, maybe if I hint enough Master will buy it for my birthday :-) That should be just about enough time to make you polar bear ornament before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWell even if your birthday is on the 24th of December you will have enough time to make the ornament ;) Atm it's only about 10$ on Amazon.com a bargain if you ask me!
DeleteOh, this is lovely! Congratulations, Nicole! I adore that patchwork bear ornament!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations! I'll have to look out for this book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen! I'm not sure if it's available in Switzerland though ;)
DeleteReally sweet! That sleeping polar bear is too cute, but still, I wouldn't want to find him in my bed!! ;)
ReplyDelete:D This is a nice Polar Bear. He doesn't mind sharing his quilt with you!
DeleteWow, awesome! I'm so excited for you!! (Also, adorable projects - as always! :) )
