Review
“Celebrate throughout the year with Heart-Felt Holidays: 40 Festive Felt Projects to Celebrate the Seasons. The book includes step-by-step instructions, templates, and several no-sew projects easy enough for kids to make.” --Sew News Magazine
“Sheldon and Carestio (Fa La La La Felt) branch out beyond Christmas in their second collection of seasonal and holiday-themed decorations made out of felt. Their definition of 'holiday' is fairly loose--projects range from a child's bat costume for Halloween to felt fireworks for the Fourth of July, as well as a number of patterns for festive seasonal garlands and ornaments. Cutting templates are provided, though some need to be photocopied and blown up before use. VERDICT These whimsical, easy-to-sew items make fun gifts for children who enjoy imaginative play--or adults who like a bit of cuteness with their crafts.” --Library Journal

More About the Author
I grew up on a farm in New England, so making things by hand comes naturally to me. I'm happiest when I'm creating, whether it's a shrink plastic bracelet, a poem, a row of sweet peas, or a book. Connecticut, New York City, Seattle, and Charleston, South Carolina, have all been home, but Asheville, North Carolina, seems to keep calling me back. When I'm not here making books with the gang at Lark, I'm usually at my cottage in Maine, where I'm the first to jump in the lake in the spring and the last one to leave the water in the fall.

I reviewed Fa la la la Felt previously and I really enjoyed the fresh, fun felt Christmas projects. That book was so successful, that Lark Crafts has now released a book filled with felt projects for the whole year. That was a real treat for me, since I think felt is an ideal crafting material to create simple and adorable projects with. My children and I have a great time making all kinds of felt creations, especially for the holidays. Thirteen talented craft bloggers have contributed more than forty projects to Heart-Felt Holidays which encompass a whole year of ideas. All the working with felt basics are included, and if you are the adventurous type, there's even instructions on how to make your own felt using clothes made from wool.
It's so much fun just to look at all of the bright and colorful suggestions, some of which require no sewing at all. The vividly colored concentric circles that spell Happy Birthday have a space to insert a toothpick so they can be easily displayed on the top of a cake or cupcakes. My son was very excited to see the Pirate set, with an eye patch and parrot, which would be perfect for a Halloween costume! And there's the cutest little mice I've ever seen, all dressed up for a Hanukkah celebration. Using embroidery hoops encircled in dotted ribbon to attach felt umbrellas to is an ingenious way to make a decorative piece with very little effort or expense. I can't wait to make the red, white and blue rockets for the 4th of July, very fun! Also, if you'd like to make the adorable bunny on the front cover of Heart-Felt Holidays, Lark Crafts has the pattern and instructions on their website.

I love working with felt, so this is the book for me. It includes many creative ideas and patterns for making them. I have already begun making the Apple for Teacher brooch. These will make fun gifts for all of the teachers in my life. The Bunny Bunting is a fun and easy project. Classic! I plan to use the Cake Toppers project to personalize birthdays. The toppers are so colorful and fun!!

This seems like a beginner's book or a book to teach to children. It's got a good selection of projects but not what I was looking for.
