In an age of mass-produced, look-alike merchandise, there’s no greater pleasure than to receive-or to give - 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. The book - designed for use by both first-time and longtime quilters - features 30 patchwork and quilted projects orgnized according to the amount of time it takes to complete them. The gifts are inspired by Amish, Appalachian, and Japanese quilting traditions, among others, and range from easy pillowcases to simplified (but heirloom-worthy) log cabin and crazy quilts. Includes pattern templat insert. Hardcover with jacket, 160 pages
