I have the pleasure today of showing you a beautiful book by my friend and fellow quilter Susan Beal. It's a book of sewing projects from someone who clearly loves the natural world around her.
First things first. Hardcover book. Love that.
Next: Little cards from Susan's book planning process. It's so personal and behind-the-scenes, what a great touch.
Also: gorgeous.
Finally, well written, just the right amount of illustrations, easy to follow.
I thought these little mason jar cozies were the cutest thing ever so I sat down to make one as soon as possible. The pattern called for fusible batting, which I don't own; I substituted a quilted leftover instead!
I think the concept of this book is inspired, and Susan really does it justice. None of the projects are fussy. All of them are things I could see myself making. I'm really pleased to have it. Thank you for the gift of your beautiful book Susan!

It has all the makings of a clear, colourful instructional book. Well done! Congratulations to your friend on her book venture!
I love to read real life reviews of books before I buy them. Now I can't wait to see this one myself.
