Summary

The award-winning quilter and appliqué designer brings fine art principles to 12 stunning quilts in this surprisingly simple step-by-step guide. 
 
Casey York pushes creative boundaries in the quilting world with her graphic, contemporary designs and patterns. In Modern Appliqué Illusions, she combines easy quilting methods with the fine art secrets of depth and perspective to create modern quilted optical illusions. Though these sophisticated look like museum pieces, they are designed for everyday use. 
 
In Modern Appliqué Illusions, you will learn to create landscapes that recede into the distance, objects that look three-dimensional, even fish that seem to swim underwater—all with easy raw-edge appliqué and straight-line machine quilting! Hand stitching finishes the appliqué with a clean look that still has a handmade feeling.

    Travels with Barley - A Journey...

    Do beer yeast rustlers really exist? Who patented the Beer Goddess? How can you tell a Beer Geek from a Beer Nazi? Where exactly is Beervana? Does Big Beer hate Little Beer?  Ken Wells, a novelist, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and longtime Wall Street Journal writer, answers these questions and more by bringing a keen eye and prodigious reportage to the people and passions that have propelled beer into America's favorite alcoholic beverage and the beer industry into a $75 billion commercial juggernaut, not to mention a potent force in American culture. Travels with Barley is a lively, literate tour through the precincts of the beer makers, sellers, drinkers, and thinkers who collectively drive the mighty River of Beer onward. The heart of the book is a journey along the Mississippi River, from Minnesota to Louisiana, in a quixotic search for the Perfect Beer Joint -- a journey that turns out to be the perfect pretext for viewing America through the prism of a beer glass. Along the river, you'll visit the beer bar once owned by the brewer Al Capone, glide by The World's Largest Six Pack, and check into Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel to plumb the surprisingly controversial question of whether Elvis actually drank beer. But the trip also includes numerous detours up quirky tributaries, among them: a visit to an Extreme Beer maker in Delaware with ambitions to make 50-proof brew, a look at the murky world of beer yeast rustlers in California, and a journey to the portals of ultimate beer power at the Anheuser-Busch plant in St. Louis, where making the grade as a Clydesdale draft horse is harder than you might imagine. Entertaining, enlightening, and written with Wells's trademark verve, Travels with Barley is a perfect gift -- not just for America's 84 million beer enthusiasts, but for all discerning readers of flavorful nonfiction.

    * NOW WITH A NEW CHAPTER *
    
    'A hugely enjoyable romp through the pleasures and pitfalls of setting up home in a foreign land.'- Guardian
    Given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, Helen Russell discovered a startling statistic: Denmark, land of
    
    long dark winters, cured herring, Lego and pastries, was the happiest place on earth.
    
    Keen to know their secrets, Helen gave herself a year to uncover the formula for Danish happiness.
    
    From childcare, education, food and interior design to SAD and taxes, The Year of Living Danishly records a funny,
    
    poignant journey, showing us what the Danes get right, what they get wrong, and how we might all live a little more Danishly
    
    ourselves.
    
    In this new edition, six years on Helen reveals how her life and family have changed, and explores how Denmark, too – or
    
    her understanding of it – has shifted. It's a messy and flawed place, she concludes – but can still be a model for a better
    
    way of living.
