pickJane Bull is an experienced writer of crafting and activity books for children. This introductory book to embroidery, needlepoint, patchwork, appliqué, knitting and crochet is aimed at readers aged 7+ and is easy to follow with clear photographs and patterns to use. I came away feeling more confident with basic stitches and adult care-givers who are also looking to pick up these skills can do them alongside younger readers.

This quilt was made by Jane Austen, her sister, Cassandra, and their mother.
On May 31st 1811, Jane wrote to Cassandra, “Have you remembered to collect peices (sic) for the patchwork - we are at a standstill”.

One of the #hobbies I would love to try is quilting, but I really don‘t have the down time needed to devote to it (I can barely keep up with reading!). But, should I ever have the time, this book provides patterns for quilts inspired by Austen‘s works. #200PnPCovers
I would love to open up this beautiful coffee table book, but it is an Xmas gift for MIL. 😏 Tempted……
A very special book arrived in the post today 💕 Jen Kingwell is an amazing quilt designer from Melbourne. I find myself attracted to her traditional designs with a contemporary feel. She puts colours together that sing, perfect for me to use up my scraps😊❤️
This book also has beautiful old fashioned family recipes like my grandmother made.
