The T-Shirt Quilt Book
Lindsay Conner and Carla Hegeman Crim

time, starting with a quick pillow project or a baby
quilt made from onesies, and work your way up

small, and interfacing knit fabrics with finesse. You'll
practice your skills with 8 projects ranging from
simple squares to pieced stars and triangles, plus
easy machine-appliquéd motifs. With beginnerfriendly
designs and truly unique layouts to entice
experienced quilters, this essential guide to T-shirt
quilts covers all the bases.

Simple Chic Crochet
Susan Ritchie and Karen Miller of Mrs Moon
Susan Ritchie and Karen Miller are the proprietors of
Mrs Moon, an online yarn store, and their mission
is to show you how simple it is to create your own
modern-casual crochet garments, accessories, and
homewares. There are easy-to-hook projects in bulky
yarns that will grow so fast you’ll be finished in a day,
and larger or more intricate items that will take longer,
but are well worth every stitch you hook in to them.
There are pieces that are perfect for beginners to
crochet–such as a chevron throw, a simple beanie, or
a snuggly cowl–and other projects that introduce lacy
and textured stitches so you can expand your skills at
your own pace, and with the help of the techniques
section at the back of the book.
