Editorial Reviews

We all have different reasons for creating, but we probably all agree with Trish Preston when she writes, "And that’s been my heart’s desire when it comes to sewing most everything – to make something special for someone that I love so very much." Her new book inspires us anew to appreciate the "why" of these creations formed with our hands and hearts. We enjoyed the insight into Trish’s family, her thoughts on gift giving and her lovely projects. We can see so many applications for The Family Tree Crazy Quilt, a brilliant paper-pieced pattern created by Trish and her dad. For babies, there’s the Every Day is a Celebration Dress, constructed using a onesie (plus alternate directions for a casual dress from the same method). There are also bags ranging from simple to more complex, including the Father Knows Best Bags, a great boxy "man pouch." We can’t lie though. We’re excited about the Bicycle Basket, and are sooo ready to tool around on our beach cruisers sporting a cheerful basket made from some of our favorite stash.
