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 favourites were the seahorse, rainbow fish and hermit crab softies, and the roomy beach bag that has zippered pckets, draw string closure, adjustable shoulder strap and carry handle. The instructions seem quite detailed, but there aren't many diagrams so visual learners will need to concentrate. That said, most of the projects are relatively straighforward so we don't think you'll encounter too many difficulties.
