With 11 projects all based on mindfulness, there is something for everyone in Anni’s newest book!
Named 'The Making of a Peaceful Day', it has a quilt for lazing with, a cushion to rest your head, a bookmark to mark your page, a drink bottle cover to keep your water cool, a notepad to jot down what we need to do, a bag in which to store all of the above, a sewing case to keep our projects contained and thus all things in which to make us happy, a chatelaine to help keep all of our essential sewing tools close at hand.....everything to make our day as peaceful as can be!
Projects included:
The Making of a Peaceful Day Quilt
This quilt has many images to applique and stitch, and is put together with very simple piecing…all in all a relaxing quilt to make! Finished size 56”x56”
Peaceful Day Case
This case is small (6.5”x9”with a 2.5” gusset), but is the perfect size to fill with a project along with your sewing supplies.
Peaceful Day Chatelaine
This chatelaine comes with a pinkeep, scissorkeep, needle case, and thread case, all connected using a decorative measuring tape.
Fun in the Sun Bag
This is a simple bag, and has a wide gusset to store all manner of things – the perfect size to store a picnic rug, some food, and your sewing project and book – all the makings of a blissful day!
Water Bottle Cover
Helps the water to stay cold, AND stop condensation from oozing onto everything! This water bottle cover would fit most water bottles, but there is an algorithm to help make a cover to suit any water bottle if yours is an odd size. Again, it is up to you as to which images you choose to stitch to make it your very own. The cover comes complete with a band for ease of carrying, attached using a clasp.
Pat the Cat Cushion
Who doesn’t love a cushion to laze with, so one definitely had to make an addition into this book!! This cushion is simple and scrappy, with a woven wool appliqued cat stitched in the centre.
Little Jug Notebook Cover
This cover fits the basic size of small notebook.
Flower Jug Bookmark
Hopefully you don’t have to pause in the reading of your book, but if you do, this little bookmark is the perfect answer to marking the page you were up to!
