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.
