Complete beginners new to quilting will be able to dive right into this book, thanks to the clear instructions and illustrations that show you the basic methods you'll need to stitch beautiful runners, mats and coasters for the festive season. The designs include festive morids like reindeer and trees, along with a host of pretty patterns that would work all year rouns when made in different colourways.
