Calico and Stitch by Sue Stichbury

This beautiful book is a perfect evocation of the cosy charming British Cottage and smells of freshly dried linen! The little girls dressed in Liberty Fabrics appear in numerous projects, both quilts and accessories, adding a touch of uniqueness to the creations: Sue’s trademark.

Sue Stichbury is an Englishwoman and since her childhood, has always been fascinated by the world of textiles, buttons, lace, and ribbons. She also loves telling stories, which she invents and illustrate through her works, especially with the dolls she makes. She is a creator, embroidery and quilting teacher, and now, with her first book, an author.

Quilts, pockets, and adorable sewing accessories are appliquéd and/or pieced, and embellished with easy embroideries. Sue also favours delicate pastel colours for her works

The twenty-six lovely projects of this book are carefully explained with full size templates, and nicely photographed. You will want to make every single one of these projects: they are just so pretty, fairly easy, and accessible to all, no matter your expertise level!
