Get Plastered, Plaster, Print and Stitch
Get Plastered, Plaster, Print and Stitch By Maggie Smith Published by: Roundtuit Publishing ISBN:978-1-904499-29-9 Price: £8.00 Reviewed by Kerry Miller This is a book that shows you how to step away from the 'perfect image' and create fantastic art work, the likes of which I would normally associate with a design students' portfolio. I would never have imagined that you could combine plaster of paris with a sewing machine/hand stitching to come up with the strikingly unique examples the author has produced.

Jelly Roll Inspirations
Jelly Roll Inspirations By Pam and Nicky Lintott Published by David & Charles Price: £14.99 Reviewed by Bron Ellis This book follows on from two previous books by the same author, Jelly Roll Quilts and Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts. For those who are not familiar with Jelly Rolls, they are bundles of forty strips of pre-assorted fabrics 2-½ inches wide by 42 inches long supplied by Moda. They are available in many colour and design ways and make piecing of simple quilt designs quicker as the work of cutting the strips and fabric selection has already been done by Moda. This has its limitations as the standard width of the strips dictates mainly simple geometric designs but they are very popular and this book provides lots of good suggestions.
