5.0 out of 5 stars If you love sweetwater then you'll love their book! September 21, 2011

By A. Pingel

Format:Paperback

The ladies at Sweetwater put out some of my very favorite fabrics. They have a genius ability to combine soft colors and crisp textures. This book provides plenty of eye candy of their fabrics and fun designs. The book is packed with projects, 35 in all, that focus on different rooms in the home. There are not many quilt designs if you are looking for that, but it is filled with smaller, easy to finish projects. I particularly like the ones that make use of their custom labels! There is an adorable organizer for keeping track of birthdays and a darling framed mini quilt. The whole book makes you see how every room can really be filled with a handmade item. Placemats, napkins, laundry baskets, quilts, jar labels...it's all in there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweetwater's Simple Home September 21, 2011

By Tara Batman

Format:Paperback

You must have this book, it is a wonderful book, especially if you love country accents!! The book goes though each room of the house with ideas for things to sew to give a home a very homey touch which double as organizing your home. All the projects use modern colors and fabric that make fresh clean looks in the home. The projects make you think relax, I am home. The quilts in the book are very simply done, yet give a very dramatic and unique touch to your home. All the projects are simply done, with fabric being the center of attention. I love the use of word and letters especially the words such as Pure, Simple etc. I have three projects picked out and one I want to do for Christmas!! Must have this book for your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Home is Simply Amazing! September 29, 2011

By Dona Reynolds

Format:Paperback

So, do I start making the Sweet Dreams bedding? The Good Food, Good Friends, Good Times wallhangings? Quilts? Kitchen? Office? Maybe just start at Page 1 and sew my way through.

Sweetwater's Simple Home is simply amazing! With 35 projects, there is something to create for every room in your home with complete, clear instructions. And, of course, everything is beautiful and subtle with the fabrics they have designed.

If you love to decorate and sew, this book is a must-have. Refreshingly simple, beautifully created by three very talented women. I think I'm starting in my office with the office chair cover and a matching lampshade!
