My first collection of special things to sew incorporates
memory into every stitch. Using basic sewing, quilting,
embroidery, and other craft skills, these projects take
their inspirations from everyday photos, drawings, souvenirs,
vintage fabrics, personalized details, and special life
events. Organized into three sections—for the
Little Ones, for Every Day, and for Special Occasions—many
are simple enough for even the beginning sewer to complete.
A variety of techniques are explained throughout, from
hand-sewing and embroidery to appliqué, stenciling,
and transferring photos to fabric. Sidebars provide
ideas for giving gifts, collecting vintage materials,
labeling your creations, and taking photographs.
Whether it’s a quilt made from baby clothes,
an apron featuring a favorite family recipe, a tote
bag commemorating a treasured vacation, or a pillow
sewn with family photos, in as little as a weekend anyone
can fashion a keepsake for the ages that can be enjoyed
every day.
I am also honored to have been asked to
contribute patterns to my colleagues' beautiful books
(and magazines).
