Pallas Athene Publishers Parisian's Paris
Book SynopsisExperience the sights and sounds of the City of Lights like a true native with this expanded edition Bill Gillham has been visiting Paris for decades. For him, the pleasure is not in revisiting the tourist sights, but rather in immersing himself in a particular quartier, discovering little shops and bistros, exploring markets, parks, and local entertainment, and finding the quirks and particularities of the city's day-to-day life. In this unique guidebook, Bill takes travellers to 21 of his favourite areas in Paris--some central, some suburban, all off the beaten track. Neglected or completely ignored by ordinary guide books, each of these locales has a purely individual, Parisian character and make superb bases for traditional sightseeing, and in particular an ideal way of seeing Paris with children. All the information about where to stay; how to get about; where to shop and eat; which museums, parks, playgrounds to not miss; and what to avoid is provided along with lush photographs that give a hint of the pleasures to be gleaned. All the information has been meticulously updated, and many sections have been enlarged and improved.

Lucky Spool Media Patchwork USA: 24 Projects for the Perfect Sewing
Book SynopsisPlanning a sewing getaway on your own or with friends? Patchwork USA includes over 20 road-trip inspired patchwork projects created just for you whether your retreat is for a day, a weekend or even a leisurely summer vacation with time for a long-term project. Because anticipation is sometimes the best part, Heidi Staples of sewing blog Fabric Mutt covers everything you need to know to prepare for takeoff, including helpful packing tips and organising your sewing space. The book is organised with travel in mind, featuring small, medium-sized, and large projects to be achieved on your perfect sewing retreat. Day trips: Small projects including a Bookmobile Sleeve, Road Trip Pillow, Snapshot Needlebook, Sewing Bee Pincushion and Coffee Shop Coasters. Weekend Getaways: Bigger projects including: a Patio Pillow, Beachcomber Pouch, Laundromat Coin Pouch, Kitchenette Set, Scout’s Honour Pouch and a Colour Book. Finally, Summer Vacations: Extended projects including a Big Bear Cabin Quilt, Palm Springs Bag, and three more quilts.Trade ReviewSet in three sections Patchwork USA is a project book with something for sewists of all skill levels. The 'Day Trips' section are simple projects, Pincushions, Pillows and I absolutely loved the Postcard Kit project. All these are easy projects everyone can enjoy making and each one takes a small amount of time. The Weekend Getaways and the Summer Vacation projects take a little longer to complete and are larger... Bags, zipper pouches and even a quilt are included. What is great about this book, is the enormous wealth of sewing information given. Advice on fabric choices and cutting, colour scheme help and a handy tool kit guide are invaluable to every stitcher. I adored the Share the Journey section. It gives ideas on different ways to gift your projects and other ways that they can be used. There are a couple of recipes and a music playlist to help make your sewing 'vacation' a pleasant and fun experience. I will be using this book to enjoy a fun afternoon sewing with my God-Daughter. The projects are fun and for a crafty day of sewing and developing new skills it is just perfect. -- Tracy Shephard * Postcard Reviews *The subtitle ‘Projects for your Handmade Jourrney’ gives a false impression. They are not all hand sewn even the smallest items are machine sewn. The simple shapes, squares, hexagons and Half Square Triangles are small ‘fussy cut’ busy prints. Much attention is given to choosing the fabrics, presumably the numerous pieces are cut before the journey. The day trip projects are small pincushions and needle cases etc. The weekend section has pouches for Kindles and purses with zips. The summer vacation includes, quilts, a mini quilt 22 1/2” square, another 46” square and a third 66” square. There are some interesting ideas for small gifts.
