Chris Malone has been sewing and crafting most of her life and became an avid quilter about 15 years ago. She has had hundreds of designs published in industry magazines and books and has authored several books of her own. She resides on the beautiful and inspiring Oregon coast.
With Christmas quickly approaching, I’m sure many of us are turning
our thoughts to decking the halls and putting up the tree – if you
haven’t already! If you’re a crafter you know there is nothing more
satisfying than hanging your own decorations each year, for you and
your visitors to admire. This year, Annie’s Craft Store and Search
Press have brought out the most irresistible collection of stunning
quilting projects for all abilities, that you will love making and
hanging year after year! Christmas All Through the House is a
bright and beautiful collection of 21 jolly Christmas decorations,
from placemats and tea towels to festive wall hangings and sampler
quilts. With such a wonderful collection of projects it is easy to
find something that will work for all tastes and for all levels of
ability. More importantly, all of the projects will be loved by the
whole family, so you really can’t go wrong! My favourite project in
the book has to be this really cute `Joyful Mantel Scarf’ which is
adorable and would brighten up any mantel or cupboard. I have a
shelving unit which is in desperate need of this! The project is
broken down into really simple steps with useful diagrams to
assist, so even absolute beginners can easily create these projects
quickly and easily. In the centre of the book you can find the
pull-out pattern sheets. These sheets contain the templates for all
of the projects in the book, meaning that you just have to pull
them out and get tracing and cutting, without the complicated task
of having to resize anything! It is so easy to just get going with
the project, which is good news since you’ll want to make a start
on the adorable decorations as soon as you get your hands on the
book! So if you are in need of any last minute stocking fillers for
your `crafty’ friends and relatives, or maybe just a tempting treat
for yourself, you really can’t go wrong with Christmas All Through
the House! You cannot help but smile at the cheerful projects and
they will definitely inspire you to get out the sewing machine!
With so many projects you just won’t know where to start, but you
can be sure that whichever one you choose will be getting lots of
complements over the Christmas period! And because you can never
start too early for Christmas, why not make a start on the projects
now to gift at Christmas 2016? Anyone who receives one of the
projects from the book is sure to be over the moon with it!

*Handmade by Hannah*
Decorate your home for the holidays with this book of twenty-one
colorful contemporary quilting projects. Open the book and in the
center is an insert containing all the patterns full size so you
don’t need a computer/printer/copier in order to begin the festive
fun. The projects are all classed as “confident beginner” which I
take to mean somebody au fait with sewing but not yet a quilter. At
the front of the book is a useful guide to what you need to buy and
why, plus some of the techniques you will be using, a few stitch
diagrams and hints on quilting and finishing. All the projects go
well together, and are in a cheerful modern style. Santas, snowmen,
wreaths, presents, trees and owls adorn wall hangings, table
decorations, coasters, mug mats, tree decorations and more. This is
a well laid out book featuring colored diagrams and easily readable
short steps, large photographs showing the finished items in situ
for each item as well as size, what you need and a cutting guide.
For a book of patterns this is a surprisingly beginner friendly
book that will show quilting tyros the basics while providing a
houseful of fun attractive holiday decorations.
