This book includes 12 full project tutorials with a nautical theme and includes the templates and photographs/diagrams to complete the projects. The table of contents (interactively linked in the ebook version) is followed by a short introduction and materials/preparation section with a list of tools and supplies. The required tools are basic and will already be in most crafter's/fibreartist's workbox.
The projects (60% of the page content) are varied and all are beautiful. They're not all quilts, there are soft furnishings, pictures, a duffel bag (see cover), and a breathtakingly beautiful needleroll which I definitely will be making for myself.
Many of the projects include surface embroidery and embellishment. Materials are listed at the beginning of each project in a sidebar along with measurements in metric (SI) and English/American. All of the templates are provided in the book.
Some of the projects are fairly advanced, especially if the crafter isn't comfortable with surface embroidery and other embellishment handwork. I wouldn't say any of them are beyond the capabilities of a keen beginner though, especially if they have access to a teacher, quilt/fabric shop employee or other knowledgeable quilty friend. There are a number of different techniques used in the projects, including paper piecing, applique, strip piecing and more.
Beautiful collection of projects.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
