"An intriguing patchwork of past and present, upstairs and downstairs, hope and despair."--Daisy Goodwin, New York Timesbestselling author of The American Heiress

A moving story of two women tied together by an heirloom despite the decades that separate their times in England, The Forgotten Seamstressquilts layers of history into one astonishing mystery.

In the early 20th century, Maria knows that, as a shy girl with no family, she's lucky to have landed in the sewing room of the royal household. Before World War I casts its shadow, she catches the eye of the glamorous and intense Prince of Wales. But her life takes a far darker turn, and soon all she has left is a fantastical story about her time at Buckingham Palace.

Decades later, Caroline Meadows discovers a beautiful quilt in her mother's attic. When she can't figure out the meaning of the message embroidered into its lining, she embarks on a quest to reveal its mystery, a puzzle that only seems to grow more important to her own heart. As Caroline pieces together the secret history of the quilt, she comes closer and closer to the truth about Maria.

Page-turning and heartbreaking, The Forgotten Seamstressstitches together past and present in an unforgettable quilt of English historical fiction perfect for fans of Jennifer Chiaverini and Pam Jenoff.

The fingers of a quilter stitch portraits of love with every pull of the thread. From the lines of the pattern to the clip of the final string, a quilter stitches moments in time. Woven through the intricate quilt blocks, stories of family, history, and hope for the future turn scraps of material into memorable tributes. In those hours of creation the quilter ponders life, legacy, and love. As the quilt folds across the lap of a quilter, reflection, prayer, and quiet moments resonate.

A Patchwork of Promises: 30 Devotions for Quilters pieces together, block by block, a thought to ponder and a verse to consider. Gayle Ottemiller threads the needle of Christ and pierces the material of your life, allowing you to intertwine a deeper love of God into the quilts you create. Inside each devotion is a prayer or a patterned thought as well as a suggestion to help you make your stitches useful for the Kingdom. A Patchwork of Promises:30 Devotions for Quilters will draw you nearer to God as you quilt and tie the threaded knot tight to the hem of His garment.

Curious Creatures for Immature Adults

What’s the big new phenomenon, with legions of devotees? Making lovable stuffed monsters! Influenced by the popularity of Japanese anim#65533; and video game culture, urban illustration and design, and the do-it-yourself craft movement, these designer plush toys are everywhere--even museum stores. Yet they’re simple to sew. Just take fabric, a needle and thread, and stuffing, combine a touch of cuteness with a dash of utter weirdness, and you’ve got one of the oddest, most irresistible creatures ever. And these 30+ projects--including furry, green-lipped Monkey; Greggles, who sports a coif of tentacles; and flirtatious Polly, who has her three eyes on every guy--are as much at home in a trendy loft studio as in a child’s room. They’re unabashedly handmade, but bold, colorful, and very modern. A thorough Basics section provides all the fundamentals, from fabric selection to stitches to the ins and outs of the construction process. And, as a bonus, there’s a handful of profiles of select plush designers with photos of their work.
