“Hand embroidery is one of the easiest, most inexpensive crafts there is. It’s simple to learn with just a few basic lessons, very versatile, and calming and meditative as well. Though some embroidery projects can be extremely involved, taking weeks or months to complete, they certainly don’t have to be! As you’ll see in this book, many small projects can be finished in just around an hour.” - @aimee_littledear on her new book, Doodle Stitching One-Hour Embroidery 🧵

“I am very fortunate to be working again with the wonderful C&T Publishing family to bring you my 3rd and latest book on TAP Transfer Artist Paper, The Ultimate Guide to Transfer Artist Paper. C&T has been a huge fan of Transfer Artist Paper (TAP), since I first introduced it over 10 years ago. Even after writing three TAP books, teaching countless classes and doing thousands of transfers, I still find new inspiration and ways to work with TAP. 99% of these new uses and TAP techniques are in this latest book – my most recent discovery was after we went to print. My inspiration comes primarily from photographs, and also quotes, and phrases gleaned from reading. I am a narrative quilter and artist and seek to tell stories or draw attention to people, places or things with my art. I have way more ideas and inspiration than I will ever be able to bring to life. For that reason, I tend to work small.” - @lrileyart Swipe to see a few TAP projects from TAP Transfer Artist Paper, The Ultimate Guide to Transfer Artist Paper 💜 Read more on our blog: ctpub.com/blog 
“In the introduction to our new book, DIY Guide to Tie Dye Style: The Basics and WAY Beyond, we tell about a moment at a truck stop in Texas where we came across a novelty t-shirt with the phrase "I'm not the black sheep, I'm the tie dyed one." And while we never thought that a gas station T-shirt could speak to us that specifically, it happened. That shirt knew us. We're Sam Spendlove and Liz Welker, sisters, mothers, makers and major tie dye lovers. At our blog, Prettylifegirls.com, we are the tie dyed sheep! While our finished project pictures might portray control and focus, behind the scenes it's all color and chaos and ideas and mess that somehow result in something beautiful. And really, that's all tie dye is, too. Maybe that's why we love it so much.” - @prettylifegirls 💜 Read more from Sam & Liz about their new book, DIY Guide to Tie Dye Style on our blog >> ctpub.com/blog
