Pattern Review: Wintergraphix Holiday Project Book

   

 WINTERGRAPHIX   

Holiday Project Book

 

By Jason Yenter & In The Beginning Fabrics

 

 Inspiration for this book and fabric collection WINTERGRAPHIX II is definitely nature.  Jason captured some of the wonder and excitement that winter brings.  The patterns in this book celebrate winter more than a particular holiday – so.. whatever holiday it is that you enjoy this time of year, hopefully the projects will help to decorate your home and create an environment full of beauty and joy.

 The book is soft sided with 6 projects ranging from easy to intermediate. The instructions are easy to read with lots of pictures. The patterns have two colorways listed so you can choose from either blues or reds.
Backing fabrics are your choice – just make sure I have the required amount in stock and let me know at check out which one you want!
