Stitch by Stitch | Jane Bull
Pickpick

Jane Bull is an experienced writer of crafting and activity books for children. This introductory book to embroidery, needlepoint, patchwork, appliqué, knitting and crochet is aimed at readers aged 7+ and is easy to follow with clear photographs and patterns to use. I came away feeling more confident with basic stitches and adult care-givers who are also looking to pick up these skills can do them alongside younger readers.

Day 10: #Hobbies

This quilt was made by Jane Austen, her sister, Cassandra, and their mother.

On May 31st 1811, Jane wrote to Cassandra, “Have you remembered to collect peices (sic) for the patchwork - we are at a standstill”.

One of the #hobbies I would love to try is quilting, but I really don‘t have the down time needed to devote to it (I can barely keep up with reading!). But, should I ever have the time, this book provides patterns for quilts inspired by Austen‘s works. #200PnPCovers

LeahBergen My post today is on Jane‘s quilting, too. 😆 2y
TEArificbooks My mom is a quilter and she is looking for a new project. This might work for her. 2y
mabell Great choice! I would love to see how designs have changed over the years. It definitely is a huge time commitment to quilt (says someone with a half finished quilt in the basement). 2y

Librarybelle @LeahBergen Great minds!! 😂 2y
Librarybelle @mdm139 It seems like a fun list of projects for a quilter! 2y
Librarybelle @mabell That would be a very interesting study - how designs have changed over the years 2y
CrowCAH I tried quilting for a summer. Made many squares, but never connected them. 2y

I would love to open up this beautiful coffee table book, but it is an Xmas gift for MIL. 😏 Tempted……

rockpools Surely you need to check that the pages are in tact, there are no printing or binding errors, and that it‘s as beautiful as it looks from the outside?! 2y
Tamra @rockpools ha! You have a strong argument there. 2y
LeahBergen I just bought 2 cookbooks for gifts and I was trying to peek through them without opening the spines all the way. 🤣 2y

A very special book arrived in the post today 💕 Jen Kingwell is an amazing quilt designer from Melbourne. I find myself attracted to her traditional designs with a contemporary feel. She puts colours together that sing, perfect for me to use up my scraps😊❤️
This book also has beautiful old fashioned family recipes like my grandmother made.
