Over twenty simple yet desirable craft projects to make and gift—or keep for yourself.
Designer Helen Phillips returns with this collection of over twenty highly giftable sewing and patchwork projects for home accessories, toys, and gifts.
Simple enough for beginners yet desirable enough for more experienced sewers, the projects explore a wide range of techniques including patchwork, quilting, paper piercing, appliqué, color play, embroidery, and embellishment.
Projects include small quilts, dolls, bags, pillows, hearts, flowers, stars, angels, birds, and more—all in a gorgeous coordinating color palette.
Praise for Modern Vintage Gifts
“As quilters we understand the investment of time that goes into any handmade gift, so it's a really positive thing that many of these projects can be made in an afternoon or so.” —McCall's Quilting
