  Share in the creative outpouring a ratty old quilt inspired to craft rustic and earthy projects from a pincushion to a hooked rug. 
   
  Primitive artist Maggie Bonanomi discovered a great old quilt. She marveled, played and let her mind wander. This book is the result. She’s created an exciting new quilt, which inspired a pile of matching pillows. Her Thistle Down Moon mat and rug designs sprung from memories of summer nights riding bikes with her sister.  
   
  She’s also designed sewing accessories: a sewing case, pincushion, a wall-hung sewing necessity, a handy pocket and a necklace.  
   
  Primitive home decorators are not forgotten—besides the quilt and pillows, you’ll find a table runner, a cross-stitch sampler and penny-topped stools. There’s even a multipurpose butcher’s apron.  
   
  Maggie’s well never runs dry. Enjoy her latest creations, 19 in all.

  USS Nevada (BB-36) was America's first modern battleship. When her keel was laid in 1912, kings and emperors still ruled much of the world. When she finally slipped beneath the waves in 1948, America was the undisputed global superpower.Nevada was revolutionary for her time: the first "superdreadnought"; the first U.S. warship to be oil fired; the first to have a triple-gun main turret; and, the first to have all-or-nothing armor. In World War I, she was based in Queenstown, Ireland, to provide protection for American convoys bringing troops to Europe. The only battleship to get underway at Pearl Harbor, she suffered damage from Japanese bombs and torpedoes and sank in shallow water. Raised and repaired, she did convoy duty in the North Atlantic before joining the invasion fleet for D-Day and the landings in Southern France.Shifting to the Pacific, Nevada provided bombardment support at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The end of the war saw her outgunned and outmoded, but her contributions were not over. In 1946, she survived not one but two atomic tests, the second of which left the battleship too radioactive for scrapping. On a sunny day in 1948, Nevada was towed off the coast of Oahu and used for target practice. She died a warrior's death.

  From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY.  
  Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own.  
   
  Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos.  
  In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book).  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
