Patchwork Loves Embroidery
Gail Pan
Martingale; $24.99

I have noticed an increasing trend toward handwork, perhaps as a social activity, perhaps as a meditative exercise, perhaps just to relax. I think you will enjoy these delightful designs from Australian Gail Pan. You will find 15 patchwork and hand-embroidery projects ranging from wall hangings to table runners, from totes to several charming journal covers. You can mix and match the patterns and designs to end up with an endless collection of projects. I’m looking forward to starting one of the small pincushions.

If you are interested, you can find the book on Amazon.com; I would love to hear what project choice would be yours. Tell me below.
