A hip beginner’s guide to one of the world’s most relaxing, inexpensive, and rewarding hobbies, this handbook puts a modern spin on an ancient craft by teaching readers how to whittle whimsical miniature creatures. With just a sharp knife, a little practice, and the tiniest block of wood, anyone can make a charming carving in less than an hour. Led by an award-winning carver and artist, this manual takes readers through the basics, demonstrating how to carve root vegetables in order to minimize the danger of accidents; readers will create a simple turnip bear or a carrot mouse. As confidence builds, readers graduate to wood, and work through step-by-step instructions accompanied by photographs, enjoying increasingly polished results as they refine their technique. It includes easy-to-use templates and sources for tools and materials, readers will learn how to sand, paint, and decorate their tiny carvings, eventually creating a fox, an owl, a horse, a hen, and even a forest or farmyard setting for their miniature menagerie.

Traditionally quilts were made as a warm covering for beds: often thrift dictated that they were made from recycled fabrics sandwiched with a worn blanket but they were always made attractive with loving stitchwork. This new collection carries on the tradition using many favourite classic patterns but brings them up-to-date with fantastic fabrics and short-cut methods. The end result is the same: beautiful bed coverings providing both warmth and a wonderful display of the stitcher's skills. Here are small floral fabrics for country cottages alongside bold plain colours to enhance contemporary room colour schemes: quilts to showcase fabulous fabrics or patterns to blend in with a low-key room decor. The quilt patterns cover a range of sizes for twin, queen and king size beds. These lovely designs are quick to make but will provide warmth and comfort for many years.
