Beautiful book (2008-09-03)

Everything about this book is beautiful and the patterns and pictures are wonderful to make from and be inspired by. I really like the fact that a few were gifts ideas rather than just decorations and I loved some of the quirky ideas (flying pig and geese patterns) as these would be easily adapted for other times of the year and not just Christmas which means you will get more use from it.

Not as good as the others in the series (2008-08-31)

Unfortunately, I did not find this book as exciting as the others in the series and agree with the first review.I think I would have prefered more trational christmas items with a twist, rather than the seemingly randon project themes (christmas shoe/boot and flying pig to name two). However, it is redeemed by other projects - the naive bird for the tree, bags & I love the hat!

Pretty pictures - little substance (2008-07-30)

Having loved the Crafting Christmas Gifts, Crafting Springtime Gifts and Sew Pretty Homestyle I was thrilled to receive this new title. I am however really disappointed by it. I normally receive these books and want to rush and start a project, but I honestly do not think that I shall make a single thing from this publication. On a positive note the photos are beautiful, so maybe one to leaf through rather than rush for the sewing machine.If you are looking to create some delightful gifts and decorations I would definitely suggest Crafting Christmas Gifts rather than this.

Great (2008-07-23)

It's a must have for every crafter, with a lot of ideas for home decorations, not even at Christmas.V
