I love this book for many reasons, but most of all the projects in are wonderfully creative and totally unique. I've loved Amy's work from the first I saw it, and this book just put me over the top with admiration. WIth Countryside Softies we are allowed to step into a playful land of critters and toadstools. The projects are clever and well thought out from the fox on the cover to a cheeky little otter and a beautiful swan. There's even buzzy little bumblebees that I went crazy over. The photography and layout are beautiful to look at, and the instructions are clearly written. I think this is a book that many different levels of sewers will enjoy. My two teen girls have already been eyeing a couple they want to make. And I will for sure be getting in on the action.

You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
