Let me start by saying I had the awesome opportunity to quilt another project for SewHome, and so found out about this amazing book a few months before its release. Erin is so talented and has thought of literally every project you could ever want to sew up to make a house your home.
I am not as blessed as others when it comes to the interior decorating gene, so this book is a God send. Erin even thought to include some design basics and clearly explains everything that needs to be considered prior to starting any project. She has tons of suggestions on how to keep your projects cohesive, even discussing color and fabric selection. I had the opportunity to preview this awesome book before it was printed, and had to purchase it myself to keep a hard copy on hand.

I also loved that the table runner didn't have batting in it and wasn't quilted. It seems like most table runner projects these days are of the quilted variety, and the "It's a Twist Table Runner" has ample interfacing to give it a luxurious feel and weight. It also made it a quick and fun sew.
I was thrilled to participate in this, and can't wait to make more projects from SewHome. Thanks Erin for a delightful read!!!
