Dream Gardens of England Barbara Baker HB $65.00 A beautifully designed sourcebook of 100 gardens of all styles in all parts of the country.

The Gardens of Japan Helena Attlee HB $45.00 In Japanese gardens, visitors find nature condensed and brought to perfection. Trees are trained and sculpted until they epitomise the very best of the trees’ tree-like qualities; the finest natural landscapes are reproduced in miniature; and the seasons are celebrated with spring blossom and the fiery leaves of autumn. Botany for the Artist Sarah Simblet HB $60.00 An intimate understanding of botany will help any artist create vibrant and realistic art. Sarah Simblet’s master class provides you with an awareness and appreciation of plants and flowers and shows how to apply that knowledge to your art.
Craft Sewing Green Betz White PB $45.00 By its nature, do-ityourself sewing is environmentally friendly. Betz White takes stitching to an even higher level of sustainability, presenting 25 projects made from “repurposed” thrift-store and back-of-the-closet finds and organic fabrics. She dispenses tips on everything from how to deconstruct old garments for reuse in new creations to how to wrap gifts with resusable fabric scraps instead of paper. Weekend Sewing Heather Ross HB $45.00 More than just a pair of days, a weekend is also a state of mind – a feeling of relaxation and freedom to immerse ourselves fully in a favourite activity. In Weekend Sewing, Heather Ross presents creative projects for clothing, accessories and home items that can be made in a weekend or less. The sewing instructions are beautifully illustrated and patterns for the projects are included on pullout sheets. Appliqué Your Way Kayte Terry PB $31.95 Appliqué Your Way goes beyond traditional quilt work with 35 sweet stitching projects from crafter extraordinaire Kayte Terry. Master decorative stitches; create original templates and much more. The book is designed for easy use with a lay-flat Wire-O binding and a handy back pocket that holds pattern and template pieces. Zakka Sewing Therese Laskey & Chika Mori PB $45.00 In Japanese, zakka means “household goods,” referring specifically to handsewn items for domestic use – tableware, kitchenware, containers of various kinds, even simple clothing. Therese Laskey and Chika Mori were enchanted by the many clever pieces they saw online but disappointed that directions and patterns were solely in Japanese and so have put together an authentic zakka book for English-speaking crafters. I Love Patchwork Rashida Coleman-Hale PB $39.95 Offering a modern approach to traditional fabric design, this charming instructional book illustrates how to create sophisticated patchwork projects by combining linen and print fabrics using simple quilting procedures.
