Welsh quilts are striking, with bold colours and simple shapes. They look magnificent as bed quilts but are also distinctive when scaled down to cradle size or smaller. Welsh quilts are intensively hand quilted with their traditional motifs, so making a little quilt is a great way for a beginner to start on a Welsh quilting journey. This enhanced ebook with video demonstrations presents six delightful little quilts to make, varying in style and complexity but all based on original full-sized Welsh wool quilts. If not used for a doll or cot quilt they make delightful decorations for the home, either as wall hangings or cushions, giving any home the Welsh country look. As they are so small they can be made from a few fat quarters but any precious scraps can be added in too. Together with the stitcher's choice of colours, the distinctive quilting motifs will give these little quilts their authentic Welsh identity.

Hardanger embroidery is a traditional counted-thread technique from Norway. Frequently used with cross stitch, it has a reputation for being difficult because it involves cutting away fabric threads to create its characteristic lace-like patterns. Bestselling author Jane Greenoff takes the horror out of Hardanger by explaining the techniques in simple steps and showing that they are not difficult at all once you understand some easy principles. There are videos showing Jane demonstrating how to do the crucial techniques. Along with the attractive projects, these help to make Hardanger accessible and fun. Ebook in pdf format on CD.
