Flower Power Patchwork

Beautiful items, both personal and for the home, can be created using the delightful projects in this book. There are 23 to choose from, including bags, notebooks, pin cushions, pillows, placemats and a handy holder for pens and pencils, all in fresh, contemporary designs. The distinctive use of color gives these items a strong Scandinavian feel, and the techniques are clearly and simply explained through the use of step-by-step instructions, beautifully hand-drawn diagrams, and gorgeous photographs. Drawing on traditional patchwork and quilting methods, all the basic techniques, tools and equipment a crafter needs are explained fully at the beginning of the book, and there are full-size templates at the back of the book for all projects that require them.
