This book is gorgeous! Written, illustrated, styled, and photographed by Alicia Paulson, perhaps the most talented person in the world (or at least the Pacific Northwest), it's full of Posie-ish projects I'm dying to try. But even if I never make anything from this book, it's still worth having for the eye-candy factor. I keep looking at the photos over and over and swooning at the prettiness.

I enjoy Alicia Paulson's blog, and so I had to have this book. I haven't used her patterns, per se, but I have incorporated her ideas and the inspiration from these into some graduation gifts I've made. Besides the projects, I found the essays, especially the one on gifting hand made items, very enjoyable. I am looking forward to the embroidery book she is releasing this year.

I think this would be a great book for sewers that are super-girly or like elaborate and frilly details on their projects. While I found three projects I would probably make-the laundry bag, the Christmas stocking, and the kid's drawing softie-I was hoping for a more in-depth explanation of how to embroider.

Lots of great ideas for personalized keepsake gifts. I found lots of ideas for my friends & family. One even uses a kid's art work transformed into a plush toy.

Another darling crafting/sewing book. The main premise of this book is to 'create heirlooms'. But they are not fussy projects, and some of them are actually intended to be used and enjoyed. There were a bunch of cute projects in this book that I'm hoping to try some day. I especially loved the superhero capes. I'm going to have a hard time deciding what to do first.

I want to be able to give this book so many stars because I was so excited when it came in at the library, but it was rather disappointing. Mostly cheesy, unuseful (as opposed to useless) ideas. The doll on the cover is cute, though.

This book was well put together and full of large photos, detailed & clear instructions and many unique takes on nice projects for the home crafter.
I liked this because it didn't just have the same old projects. These were charming without being too quirky (which is fun, but doesn't work for everyone)

I love Alicia Paulson. I read her blog and get inspiration from it on a regular basis. This book has the same pretty pictures and great projects with a lot of heart that I've come to enjoy on her blog. So much fun!

So many great projects - I didn't get a chance to make anything just yet, but I enjoyed looking and dreaming of a day when I could.

She could not write a book that would not be wonderful. Her ways come through in her book. Looking forward to her next one!!!

Meh. This book didn't really have anything that was new or different or better than other tutorials/patterns I've seen.

Probably the most creative assortment of projects I've seen in a craft book over the past few years.

This looks like a beautiful book. I really want to learn to sew / make a quilt some day.

The projects in this book are clearly-explained and fun. I haven't made any yet and I have to return the book to the library but I have several written down that I want to make for Homemade Christmas 2009! All of these projects are meant to help preserve family memories in fabric. There are good tutorials about how to print photos onto fabric and how to do embroidery and applique.

i've added this to read even though i don't sew, because the author Alicia Paulson writes one of my FAVORITE craft blogs, Posie Gets Cozy. She's such a lovely lady!
And it was a lovely book. Full of sweet projects that I won't attempt because I'm not ready to tackle embroidery, let alone sewing. I mostly read it for Alicia's wonderful side notes.

I am definitely going to consider buying this book. I have lots of craft books, so I figured that this one would be more of the same patterns. While several of the projects were nothing revolutionary, I could see myself making about 85% of what was included. A lot of great photography, and plenty of inspiration!

There are some really lovely ideas in here - my favorite is the handsewn giraffe based on a child's drawing. She gives easy instructions on how to create a softy based on your child's drawing, too. So fun!
