Popular Patchwork

February 2015

This is a whimsical collection that provides exactly what it says on the cover. Christa Rolf's lifelong love of fabrics and lace is evident in the love with which she's constructed and presented these projects. There are some practical yet beautiful items to craft, such as pincushions, pinboards and placemats, and others which are purely decorative such as a delightful patterned 'cake' and a chain of hearts that would brighten up any 'shabby chic' mantelpiece. There's a simple but very refined looking yp-yo quilt pattern that will be of particular interest to Popular Patchwork readers, and whilst making that it would be a good idea to go for the matching filled pillow design too. The projects are all graded 'Quick and easy' 'Requires a little practise' and 'More challenging', but we can't spot anything that would be too tricky with patience. If lovely pastel pinks and blues are appealing to you, you won't be able to resist this book.
