Teaches crafters, quilters, and sewers to make festive Christmas stockings using a variety of simple sewing and embellishing techniques. This work includes 6 projects for large and miniature Christmas... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The projects in this book are in fact pretty fast, pretty easy, and really fun! This book had techniques (paper piecing) and materials (stabilizer, fusible interfacing) that I had never used or even heard of before. But by following the instructions (with just a bit of help from the nice people at my neighborhood quilting shop), I was able to create two really cool Christmas stockings, one from the book and one that I designed myself, in three or four days. And I had so much fun making them that I bought more Christmas fabrics on sale and plan to make several more stockings while my kids are at camp this summer. I've never done any quilting before, and although I learned basic sewing as a kid, I'm no expert seamstress. So I was really thrilled that my projects were so successful.

I like all the "Fast, Fun and Easy" books. I have not had a chance to practice any of these projects, but they look fun and diversified ... and Christmas 2006 is really not all that far away!
