Review Sewing World - September 1, 2006
"Update your home decor with some bright new cushions for the new season. This book includes 29 projects ranging from very easy square and envelope styles to more elaborate patchwork designs in mix and match fabrics; an ideal book for new stitchers as it also includes step-by-step sewing basics plus decorative tips for adding ruffles, flanges, piping, cording, and free-motion embroidery. In addition to traditional furnishing fabrics, the book has instructions for felting wool to make some nice cosy designs ready for autumn. Most of the projects include the fabric requirements for several standard size cushion forms, offering plenty of scope for creating a co-ordinating collection. Best of all these projects are economical in both time and materials--great for those who like quick results."
