Publisher's Synopsis
Taken from a broad range of country traditions around the world, this is a collection of straightforward ideas for soft furnishings, from a Durham quilt to striped Guatemalan curtains, and from a kilim door-curtain to a Provencal tablecloth. Pictures of the finished projects are accompanied by step-by-step instructions. There are also suggestions, illustrated with colour swatches, of how each traditional design can be further adapted to create a new look by using different colour combinations and fabrics.
