Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts: Basic Techniques for Sewing, Applique, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing, Plus 150 Inspired Projects from A to Z Hardcover – Illustrated, 30 Mar. 2010

This is really a must have book for the craft lovers. I love all the nice and colorful ideas. would definitely recommended it.

I bought this book several months ago and then saw what I thought was another of MS's books with more projects in it due to the extended sounding title. I then received this book via my wishlist for a birthday present only to find out that this is the same book I received previously except it comes with a different jacket than seen here and the title says it has 150 projects on the cover, nothing about dyeing, quilting etc.Of course, as usual, to returns will cost as much as the book to purchase so will have to pass it on. Such a shame that someones money has been wasted like this.

If you want to try your hand at lots of crafts and sewing projects, this is an ideal book. It opens up with basic techniques and I was almost ready to dismiss it until I got to the 150 projects complete with line drawings and 800 photos. It has many very attractive projects with a wide appeal. A CD is included with patterns and templates to print at home. Projects from curtains and aprons to animals, egg cosies and notebook covers.
