Summary

Whether using new fabrics or upcycling or repurposing an existing quilt, orphan blocks or fabric scraps, Making Quilted Patchwork Jackets instructs you through each step of the process to handcraft a quilted jacket. You will learn to properly position blocks, add appliqué elements, layer, quilt, and construct piece-by-piece. Authors Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson reveal the four different approaches they use: jackets with loose linings and two quilted layers, jackets with the lining quilted into a sandwich for three layers, reversible jackets with two decorative sides and batting in between, and jackets made from already made quilts. For beginners to wearable quilting, the authors provide an overview of basic garment construction, fabric selection, piecing and placement, liners, hem length, and finishing details including collars, cuffs, and pockets. Two basic multi-size downloadable patterns are available--adult and child--with multiple length options. Intermediate and advanced quilters can modify the projects to suit their level of expertise, finding inspiration from the gallery of quilted jacket photographs.

    From the New York Times–bestselling author of the Alexandria Quartet: “A superlative piece of . . . writing . . . rooted in the Mediterranean scene” (Time). In 1953, as the British Empire relaxes its grip upon the world, the island of Cyprus bucks for independence. Some cry for union with Athens, others for an arrangement that would split the island down the middle, giving half to the Greeks and the rest to the Turks. For centuries, the battle for the Mediterranean has been fought on this tiny spit of land, and now Cyprus threatens to rip itself in half. Into this escalating conflict steps Lawrence Durrell—poet, novelist, and a former British government official. After years serving the Crown in the Balkans, he yearns for a return to the island lifestyle of his youth. With humor, grace, and passable Greek, Durrell buys a house, secures a job, and settles in for quiet living, happy to put up his feet until the natives begin to consider wringing his neck. More than a travel memoir, this is an elegant picture of island life in a changing world.

    April 27, 2011 marked the climax of a superstorm that saw a record 358 tornadoes rip through twenty-one states in three days, seven hours, and eighteen minutes. It was the deadliest day of the biggest tornado outbreak in recorded history, which saw 348 people killed, entire neighborhoods erased, and $11 billion in damage. But from the terrible destruction emerged everyday heroes, neighbors, and strangers who rescued each other from hell on earth. 
     
    With powerful emotion and gripping detail, Kim Cross weaves together the heart-wrenching stories of several characters—including three college students, a celebrity weatherman, and a team of hard-hit rescuers—to create a nail-biting chronicle in the Tornado Alley of America. No, it's not Oklahoma or Kansas; it's Alabama, where there are more tornado fatalities than anywhere in the U.S., where the trees and hills obscure the storms until they're bearing down upon you. For some, it's a story of survival, and for others it's the story of their last hours.

    Explore The Various Benefits Of Green Smoothie Recipes And Use them To Improve Your Health And Quality Of Life  
    There are many advantages of drinking green smoothies. Sure, you're going to get more fruit and vegetables. Nonetheless, you will also find an increase in your metabolism, smoother hair, a fall in weight and even a better mood. People who follow the raw food diet have turned to green smoothies to boost a diet that is already nutritious, and many find the vitality and sense of well-being they want. 
    If you've never tried a green smoothie cleanse before, you're heading for a completely new level of wellness and energy. It may be overwhelming to pick up a glass containing a thick green liquid and drink it down, but the fact is that green smoothies do not taste anything that is different from blue, orange, red and yellow. The main difference is one of food and fiber rather than that of taste. The green color of the smoothies comes from chlorophyll. You probably learned in middle school that this is the color that helps plants perform photosynthesis; it is also this color that connects to the toxins in your system at a molecular level and pulls them out one at a time. 
    Green smoothies effectively detoxify your body, leaving you healthy and strong. This book will instruct you in how to reap the benefits of green smoothies. In addition to becoming more glamorous and radiant, you end up getting your desired weight. 
    Here Is A Preview Of What You Will Learn:Why Is It So Important To Eat Your Greens?Is Your Green Smoothie Actually Healthy And Balanced?Benefits Of Green SmoothiesHow To Make A Green SmoothieThe Best Liquid Bases For SmoothiesGreen Smoothies Vs.
