What An Honor!

 

I was contacted by the publishers of Interweave Press to review some of their books that I had an interest in.  I was so honored and thrilled.  Even more so when I received the books and they had so many creative ideas in them.

 

There are popular patterns for quick and easy projects in these books and there are quite a variety of titles.  I will tell you about one of them today and we'll go over more of them later.

 

The first one is "Fun Home Accessories".  The pictures are clear and precise.  The instructions are very detailed giving you step-by-step instructions.  They have a Materials List with everything you would need down to the needle and thread.  The patterns are included and some of the templates need to be enlarged, but overall generally, the patterns are actual size.

 

Let's get to the goodies!

 

To give you an idea of how many projects are in this book, here is a list:

 

Fabric Panel Shower Curtain

Inspirational Pincushions

Patchwork Coatrack

Lavender Trivet

Plaid Curves Table Runner

Artful Embroidery Chair Cushion

Set of Nesting Baskets

Contemporary Table Runner

Door Organizer

Quick Fused Napkin Rings

Scrappy Oven Mitt

Strings Attached Pot Holders and Trivet

 

 

This Lavender Trivet is so fast and easy to make.  When you set something hot on it, the pleasant aroma of lavender fills the air.

 

 

The set of Nesting Baskets are so cute.  There are instructions for making your own custom sized one in addition to the ones shown here.

 

Think outside the box at how cute these would be in various fabrics!

 

 

I love this Door Organizer and it was the first project I made out of the book. 

 

 

I varied the fabrics and colors and made it to go on my bedroom door with all of my necessities.

 

 

Isn't it cute?  I try to keep my notebook, scissors and glasses in every room.  With this, it's a cinch!

 

This book is compiled by Barbara Delaney and she has done an awesome job of coordinating various projects from different designers.
