false 658720 1 More than half of the projects in this book can be completed in less than 8 hours<BR><BR>In an age of mass-produced, look-alike merchandise, there's no greater pleasure than to receive&#151;or to give&#151;a handmade gift. To make gifts for family and friends testifies to your esteem for them and to your loving dedication of precious energy and time.<BR><BR>And there's the rub. These days, few people have time to create elaborate hand-fashioned gifts. Understanding the demands on contemporary crafters' schedules&#151;but understanding, too, their wish to express their love and care in this very personal way&#151;led Joelle Hoverson to write <I>Last-Minute Knitted Gifts</I>. Now, in the follow-up to that extremely successful 2004 volume&#151;with nearly 80,000 copies in print&#151;Hoverson and photographer Anna Williams present <I>Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts.</I><BR><BR>The book&#151;designed for use by both first-time and longtime quilters&#151;features 30 patchwork and quilted projects organized according to the amount of time it takes to complete them: less than 2 hours, 2 to 4 hours, 4 to 8 hours, 8 to 12 hours, and 12 hours or more. The gifts are inspired by Amish, Appalachian, and Japanese quilting traditions, among others, and range from easy pillowcases and covered scrapbooks to simplified (but heirloom-worthy) log cabin and crazy quilts. Hoverson also shares an overview of her approach to color as well as the tools and techniques she used to complete the projects in the book. 644802 2 9 2007 Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts total:161|5:72|4:72|3:15|2:2|1:0| 161 697 251 41 4 1 false false Sat Apr 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 03:12:48 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 03:16:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Sep 12 10:15:46 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 10:48:46 -0700 2009 Purl Patchwork.
