Editorial Reviews

Review

If you own a beach house, have decorated parts of your home in a coastal theme or simply love the beach, this book will be a real treasure. There are a generous 25 projects between the covers, all made with a "seaside" theme. They include cushions, quilts, softies, a bag and a hat, made with a variety of techniques: applique, hand and machine embroidery, garment sewing and quilting among them. Twenty-two different designers have contributed projects, which has resulted in a spectrum of styles, colours and materials. We'll admit that our favorites were the seahorse, rainbow fish and hermit crab softies, and the roomy beach bag that has zippered pockets, drawstring closure, adjustable shoulder strap and carry handle. The instructions seem quite detailed, but there aren't many diagrams so visual learners are relatively straightforward so we don't think you'll encounter too many difficulties.
--Australian Homespun; no.108 vol.13 no.5



Seaside Home is a compilation of quilts, softies, embroidery, appliqué and decorative crafts, perfect for a nautical look for any home. There are several great quilt designs including Deep water, pebble stack quilted wall hanging and my favourite Porthole Baby Quilt. The book also has a whale embroidered cushion, sailboat cushion, crab napkin wraps and some nautical bunting, a perfect summer project to make with children. There are lots of appliqué projects, quite a few seaside softies, all perfect smaller projects. The book covers all abilities, beautifully laid out with full size patterns. So no trips to enlarge patterns – perfect for a spur of the moment make! So if you are looking for a book with a mixture of craft projects not just quilts this is a great place to start.

Love the pattern subjects. Attractive book with plenty to inspire. Very disappointed that the patterns are not full size. Having to enlarge is not ideal and I probably will not get that done. In future I will only buy books giving full size patterns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every project is worth making! March 26, 2012
Format:Paperback
I'm a contributor to this book, so I could be a little biased, but even if I wasn't a part of this project, I would recommend this book! As I turned the pages, each new project I saw got me more and more excited! The photography is stunning, and the ideas are unique and wonderful. I can't wait to get started making some seaside fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seaside Home April 24, 2012
By L. Lowe
Format:Paperback
This book is just plain fun! Susanna Woods had gathered together a variety of quilting, sewing, and embroidery enthusiasts from across the web, given them a central theme (the sea) and watched them go to work. There are quilts, stuffed toys and pillows, bags, table services, wreaths, wall hangings, etc. The projects are sewn, quilted, embroidered, and easily crafted. The sheer amount of projects and talent displayed is nearly overwhelming.

Ms. Woods doesn't spend time on basic techniques, she leaves that up to the designers to showcase the basics of how their projects are created, step by step. The detail that each designer uses to showcase how their projects evolve is easy to understand and includes a variety of photo's and diagrams. Also, the designs are shown in specific home settings to give the reader an idea of how to use the designs around their home.

As an added bonus, a photo and short bio of each designer is included as well as the locations of their website's, blog's, and Etsy shops. This is invaluable information for the reader because I know that I wanted to see more of the work by specific designers and it was easy to type in their web address and head over to their site. I found out that one of the designer's that I follow regularly was included in the book. So that was a nice surprise.

Seaside Home features projects with easy to follow directions, decorating idea's, and a chance to connect with the actual designers via the web. This book has it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the beach! January 12, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Haven't sewn any of the projects yet, but have perused the book and have made a list of favorites. Everything looks pretty simple and some of the projects will end up as birthday gifts to family and friends. I'm sure the cost will be minimal, and I have seen similar items in catalogs and online that were pretty pricey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable January 9, 2013
By Cami
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really like this book. I find that a lot of sewing books have great projects in them and then a handful which are just plain silly or ugly. This book is the opposite - EVERY project is better than the next and I look so forward to making them! The fact that the patterns need to be enlarged is a slight inconvenience, but I'm sure a trip to Kinko's won't kill me. It gives me an excuse to stop at the fabric store and get some cute nautical fabric. The directions look pretty easy for me, too. This is a plus since I'm not an advanced sewist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interior Designer loves it! April 16, 2012
Format:Paperback
I'm an interior designer turned quilter living on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The instant I saw the first project in the book, Beach Hut Pillow, I was hooked! I could instantly see this pillow nestled on a sofa in a beachside home or condominium! The little beach hut applique can be offset to the other siide of a second pillow to create a mirror image for either side of a sofa! How cute. There are 24 other really cute and easy projects in the book as well! I love the Deep Waters Quilt and the Buccaneer T-shirt! Our community sponsors a Pirate festival each June and I can visualize using the Pirate ship applique in a quilt! Love it!
