Working with your hands can be an immensey
satisfying experience. Craft projects like those featured on
the following pages offer an opportunity for personal expression and
individual achievement that is particularly welcome in this age of
technology. You will find there is pleasure to be had in the entire
process--in choosing the materials, in settling on a particular
color or design, in doing the work itself, and finally, in enjoy-
ing the finished piece. Moreover, if you are on a tight decorating
budget, learning a craft may allow you to copy antique pieces,
such as grain-painted boxes or Pennsylvania-German hand
towels, which you might not otherwise be able to afford. Indeed,
virtually all the crafts in this book, represented by such varied
projects as a primitive hooked rug, a twig picture fiame, and a
log cabin doll quilt, take their inspiration from the past, recall-
ing America s rich artistic heritage.
Designed to appeal to everyone from beginners to experienced
craffspeople, the twenty-eight projectson the following pages
involve sewing, embroidery, rugmaking, working with paper,
painting, woodworking, and flower crafting. Even if you have
never sewn a stitch or held a paintbrush, you should be able to
find a project that suits your level of expertise. And, in learning
many of these crafts, such as embroidery and rug-hooking, you
can try a practice piece to see if you enjoy a particular technique.
