Product Description
Whether you’re a farmgirl or just wish you were, MaryJane’s Stitching Room is a treasure trove of projects that will have you stitching, crocheting, embroidering, and tatting like one before you know it.

Along with more of MaryJane’s engaging essays and endearing farmgirl wisdom, you’ll find projects that have an irresistible appeal for the contemporary crafter who is intrigued with the delicate handcrafts of yesteryear. MaryJane includes nostalgic patterns with simple step-by-step instructions for projects to wear, for gifts, or to bring down-home charm to any room of the home, all with her unmistakable farmgirl flair.

MaryJane’s Stitching Room is a wonderful companion to MaryJane’s Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook, but it also stands alone as a useful guide to the handiwork of days gone by.

About the Author
Carpenter, waitress, upholsterer, secretary, ranch hand, milkmaid, wilderness ranger, environmental activist, entrepreneur, and founder of MaryJanesFarm, Maryjane Butters has worn many hats (and aprons) in her day, but none more proudly than that of modern-day farmgirl. She is the author of MaryJane’s Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook: For the Farmgirl in All of Us and lives in Idaho.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful blend of instruction, photography, and conversation., May 2, 2007
MaryJane opens her book by welcoming you into her home and her life. She takes you through a verbal tour of a morning with her which culminates in reaching her Stitching Room.

As with her magazine and previous book "MaryJanes's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook" the photos are photo gallery perfect. She captures the beauty and elegance of sewing in photo and her easy going conversational style of writing. She has some great stories to tell and some amazing people to introduce you to.

And this book isn't just to enjoy reading and looking at. She has practical projects. Not to mention the easy to understand instructions for nearly 50 sewing projects! She has photo and hand drawn illustrations to help guide you through the projects. And if you don't know how to crochet or tat, she has a wonderful section that applies equally well for a beginner or someone that just needs a refresher course.

So if you love anything from sewing to beautiful photography I highly recommend this book. It has become the pride and joy of my coffee table, which also happens to be in _my_ sewing room! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! An old fashioned crafts book!, July 7, 2007
By Patricia Schaller (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't want to learn how to knit with dog hair or create modern, bizarre sculpture. I want to learn the traditional crafts, and now I have a book to help me! Hooray! Having read Maryjane's previous book, I knew I was in for a treat with this stitching book. Beautiful photos, detailed instructions, subjects that interest me. It's as if I were sitting with my Mother and she was telling me family stories while she was teaching me how to create beatiful gifts and items for my home. I can't wait to see what Maryjane comes up with next!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have!!!, July 6, 2007
I loved MaryJane's first book, MaryJane's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook, and couldn't wait to get this spin-off stitching workbook. It didn't disappoint. With more of the wonderful stories and photos we found in the first book, MaryJane's Stitching Room gives us lots of old-fashioned projects and techniques for everyone from beginners to accomplished stitchers. You can learn to crochet from scratch using her easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions (with both photos AND drawings!) and one of the many crochet patterns in the book, embroider a dishtowel, and even stitch up a jacket for your espresso. You can even learn the nearly-lost art of tatting (easier than you think!) from close-up photos of the stitches and very clear instructions. The beautifully photographed pages show old-fashioned techniques made into 47 new and modern projects - all with MaryJane's signature farmgirl flair!
