Summary

Quilting is a hugely popular pastime, with many people all over the world producing beautiful quilts to be displayed as wall hangings for display, as well as to be used as bedcovers and throws. 

Now available in paperback, this best-selling title is THE essential guide to quilting.

This book aims to cover all the basic techniques that are used in making a quilt, whatever kind you might wish to create. Learn about materials and equipment, and choosing the right sewing machine to work for you in chapter 1, then move onto fabrics and their characteristics in the following chapter. A section on colour and pattern will help you design your quilt, as you decide which of the quilt-making traditions you are most drawn to: wholecloth and strippy quilts, pieced quilts, appliquéd quilts, embellished quilts or folded quilts. With inspirational photographs of traditional and well-loved designs in each section, as well as specific techniques that apply to each quilt, you will be spoilt for choice. There is also a section on the care, cleaning and storage of quilts, as well as a glossary of quilt-making terms. 

This comprehensive guide also offers clear instructions and hundreds of illustrations and diagrams to show each stage of the quilting process. It’ll be the one resource that you will turn to time and time again.

    Experience the wit & wisdom of one of the New York Times–bestselling author’s most popular columns about living life to its fullest. 
     
    Even after her death, Erma Bombeck remains one of America's best-loved writers of all time. Eat Less Cottage and More Ice Cream is based on one of her most requested columns. 
     
    In 1979, someone asked humorist Erma Bombeck, “If you had your life to live over, would you change anything?” Her immediate answer was no, but once she thought about it, she changed her mind. The result was a classic column full of Bombeck’s signature wit and warmth. 
     
    Now the beloved column that has hung on hundreds of refrigerator doors has been cheerily illustrated and designed as a handsome gift book, Eat Less Cottage and More Ice Cream. In it, Bombeck gently reminds us of what is really important in life: 
     
    “If I had my life to live over again, I would have waxed less and listened more.” 
     
    I would have cried and laughed less while watching television . . . and more while watching real life.” 
     
    But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute of it . . . look at it and really see it . . . try it on . . . live it . . . exhaust it . . . and never give that minute back until there was nothing left of it . . . .” 
     
    Long-time fans and readers discovering Bombeck for the first time will both find something to love in this witty and charming book. Eat Less Cottage and More Ice Cream offers wisdom to inspire all of us.
