A book with very pretty easy to make items. Most of the templates are full size, although there are some to be enlarged. Well chosen fabrics and decorative finishes make for delightful projects, something to enjoy making, with more enjoyment to come from using them when finished. The instructions are step by step and very clear, book is good value too - can't go wrong really. No point in waffling on about this one - you can look inside and make your own mind up BUT I love it!

This book is filled with fun yet practical projects to delight any sewer. It appeals to the younger age group with its contemporary design and has great projects for all the girls in the family. It's thrilling to find a quilting book that does something other than just usual projects. The table runners and so on are here, but there are unusual cushions, egg cosies, large quilted letters, two adorable dolls and a fab bird brooch (my favourite in the book). The Cathedral windows book cover is superb. I might just have to get a dog to make the dog coat and I'll have to find someone to make those baby shoes for. The projects are often embellished and unique. Most of them would make super gifts. With 35 projects, you will find many you want to make. Good photography, good templates and easy to follow instructions. This is a winner. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

Oh so Easy
This book is really useful for making things to give as presents, and I used up lots of my scrappy bits to make colourful pieces, so glad I bought it

Lovely book
Some really lovely projects in this book. I have made the tea cosy but slighly altered the measurements. Would like the finished measurements to be shown before you start. Read more

Disappointing.
This was such a disappointment! The photographs show poor examples of workmanship and the project ideas are hardly original. Read more
