I already have this book and patterns in my cart! I love the soft color palette, the quirky designs, and the awe factors that Natalie Bird incorporates into every project!

The center block of the cover quilt can also say LOVE which makes it the perfect cuddle quilt for that summer wedding couple on your list.

But the book also includes several other projects that will make you smile. Remember that awe factor I talked about? I can’t wait to applique this bird on a pair of bibs for my granddaughter!

The photography is stunning! I love projects that combine embroidery, applique and patchwork. Don’t you want to redecorate and make these projects the focus of an entire floor – let alone a room???

In her words: This book has 9 projects including an applique and paper-pieced main quilt – The Blue Quilt, a paper-pieced hexagon quilt, an applique Baltimore style block quilt, needlebook, pincushions, purse, pillow, bag, and an applique and stitchery wallhanging. An optional center block for the main quilt is also provided – with the work LOVE instead of BLUE.

Wouldn’t this make a great nursery??? The muted colors will lull anyone to sleep!

Every project has that awe factor.  Whether it is putting a new take on a traditional penny rug; adding wide rickrack to a tote; creating the perfect shape on a pin cushion to accent the design to its best advantage; or adding tiny touches of embroidery to a framed miniature to add texture and detail, this book has it all.

This book is expected to arrive the first week of January – just in time for Valentine’s Day!
