I absolutely LOOOOVE this book. Not only is it beautiful, but the ideas are very easily implemented.
1-0 out of 5 stars Shallow book like the author
There are better Christmas books on decorating and entertaining.

5-0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful christmas book!
I can see this book is not new. It is to me, and I find is very inpirational! I use it every year for Christmas, for getting the house ready, for baking, for decorating and setting the tables, for ideas on how to use my plates, bowls and dishes in different ways, for altering things I already own into new settings - Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars My first Martha Stewart book
I have used many of these projects and loved it.The ribbon trays I have given as gifts were well received, and once I got the glass cut, were just gorgeous.I found baskets on sale one day, and they just all came together, not as expensive as I thought.I think the ribbon cost the most, but still, a really great gift for not a lot of money in my case. Recipes, of course, and things like candlemaking are showcased here.So glad I bought it!

5-0 out of 5 stars I liked it
This book taught me the best way to wrap gifts.

1-0 out of 5 stars poo
I am usually a Martha fan but I see these books of hers as an attempt to just suck more money out of us. Almost everything in this book can be found in past issues of her magazine. If I would have known that I would havewent to the library and decided what was best myself.I believe all of herbooks are this way---I mean samples from her show and magazine. Nothing newor surprising. ... Read more

Me parece fant�stico y de ideas inagotables,l�stima que no se edite en espa�ol.En Espa�a tambi�n nos gusta el patchwok

5-0 out of 5 stars Well worth it!
I bought this book with the intent of it being a gift for someone interesteed in collecting "art books" who also likes fiber arts and quilting. I ended up keeping the book as I couldn't bear to give it away after opening it! It is Very readable, the excersies are understandable and useful, and by the end of each chapter you have a firm grasp of that aspect of 2 dimensional surface design. Several friends are waiting to borrow it from my library, but its one that I'll keep track of.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent for quilters as well as M.C. Escher fans
This is the best book on tessellations I have seen. Since my main goal was to learn M.C. Escher's technique, I was first surprised to see that the author primarily deals with developing quilt patterns, from simple to complex. Onlythe last few chapters are dedicated to M.C. Escher's work. But I realized quickly that every page leads up to the next, teaching more and more intricate patterns until I was able to analyze Escher's work and see for myself how he developed the patterns.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good book for knitting baby sweaters!
Well use of yarn (Debbie Bliss) to make the final sweater look high quality and attractive on the babies in the photos.
4-0 out of 5 stars A variety of classic-looking projects
I really admire that this book doesn't try to cram in a "how to knit" chapter in the very beginning.Those hurried instructions never do justice to someone who's never knitted.Therefore, don't buy this book hoping that it will contain a chapter teaching you how to knit, because it doesn't.After two pages devoted to general knitting considerations, the patterns begin.Unlike Debbie Bliss's "Quick baby knits", which features mainly long-sleeved sweaters, this book has a variety of projects including hats, a scarf, blankets, a vest, sweaters (of course), pants, booties, a stuffed toy, three little dresses, and a little bag.Patterns look simple, classic, elegant, not too gaudy, and the skills used include cables, Fair Isle, beads, stripes, and embroidery.My impression of the projects is that they are for an intermediate knitter.Items presented are for newborn-3 year olds, and most can be used for either boys or girls.

3-0 out of 5 stars Recycled
She does beautiful baby clothes, traditional and delicate. But the pictures are more enchanting than the garments themselves. They are recycled, a habit with her. I love the pictures, but maybe I should frame and hang them instead of try to make them. It seems to me she should stop putting out books with overly similar patterns and fix the issues she's having with her instructions. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Stylish Storage and Organization Solutions
This is not your average 'get organized' book. While the pictures wow you, the text (unlike in many decor books) is incredibly helpful and a must read for any Martha fan. It should be noted that this is a compilation of the best of Martha's ideas from her "Living" magazine. Rather than clip pages, Martha has gathered the best of the best together in one beautiful book.
5-0 out of 5 stars Good Things for Organizing (Good Things with Martha Stewart Living)
Great book - inspired organizationat tips.Would buy again or give as a gift.

5-0 out of 5 stars martha never fails to impress
Although we can all aspire to Martha's level, few of us will ever get there. Dispite this fact the information in Good Things for Organising there are definately simple, easy suggestions to put in place in your home and work life almost immediately.

3-0 out of 5 stars I would not buy this book again
I'm not a big fan of this book, really.Here's why:
4-0 out of 5 stars Great beginner's book!
I've tried to learn how to knit over the years from 3 very experienced knitter with no success.I gave up and just settled with crocheting with lots of success.Then I found this book in my storage and decided to give knitting one last try.After sitting down with it for a weekend, I've now learn the basic stitches and am working on the baby blanket pattern!(I'm not doing the color work though, just the blanket with the heart design.)I've even tried most of the basic patterns with great success as well.
4-0 out of 5 stars Best for those with some experience and children to knit for
I really enjoy the way Debbie Bliss's How to Knit is set up like a knitting course with each chapter building on the next.The book is a series of workshops covering a comprehensive list of knitting areas -basics, simple stitch patterns, Aran stitches, color work, lace, entrelac, decorative details, designing, and finishing.

A treasure! Gorgeous photography on glossy paper; perfect gift or coffee table book. Easy recipes mixed with very do-able settings that create beauty in the extreme. Every page is special.

5-0 out of 5 stars Visually stunning and an incredible resource
This book is absolutely amazing.Although I do not have all the resources as Ms. Roehm, the recipes are supurb, while the suggestions and ideas are easily adaptable to the smaller scale and your personal environment.If you are looking for a resource on interior design, think again...this is an entertaining guide.There are also lots of helpful hints regarding color usage and flower selection.This book is my new entertaining Bible!Step aside, Martha!

I've only made a few of the recipes so far, but they turned out very nicely. In particular, the lemon-dill pasta will become a staple of mine from here on out.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Beginners Should Start Here
This is an excellent book for beginners.The author walks you through each simple project with clear and concise direction.Color diagrams explain each step in the progress.The book features six small wall quilts comprising of basic patterns: rail fence, log cabin, nine patch, friendship star, flying geese, and a sampler.A color photograph of each completed quilt is shown at the start of every project.The beginning of the book covers the nine required tools, fabric basics (grain, color and pattern, and preparation), rotary cutting, piecing, and quilting.Everything is addressed in easy to understand terms.
5-0 out of 5 stars Best beginner quilt book ever
Clear, simple, removes the intimidation factor. My 8 year old "designed" one of the simple starter designs and I executed it successfully, our first try. We were complimented by an expert quilter, that it did not look like a "beginner" quilt. Highly recommended for beginners, and as a reference.

4-0 out of 5 stars Alex Anderson"s 6 Projects for 1st Timers Ok but ...
I love watching Alex Anderson's show: Simply Quilts. I enjoyed reading the book but found some spots a bit harder to crasp the concepts than I would have liked. I figure I will try to read it again soon and with more quilting under my belt, the information will make more sense to me. I enjoyed learning more about a quilting. I have not done as much quilting as I want to. So a beginners book is a great tool for me.

5-0 out of 5 stars Clever Ideas
This book is full of clever ideas and shortcuts. I only hope that I will remember to look them up when I can make use of one of them. As you look through it you will constantly think -- Why didn't I think of that? I never buy the magazine, so these were all new to me.Even if you have seen these tips before, it might be valuable to buy this book anyway as a convenience.You are probably more apt to use these shortcuts if they are compiled into one book rather than spread through a dozen magazines. I hope Martha comes out with more books like this one.

5-0 out of 5 stars Lots of pictures and short tips
I read a copy fo this book from the library,but I liked it.I am a photo person ,so anything with pictures works for me.This books has lots of pretty pictures and tons of tips,mostof which are no-cost tips. I love MARTHA STEWART !!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great, useful, and not at all cheesy.
A great book with very practical and inexpensive ideas for all kinds of homekeeping. I am not as type-A as Martha, but you've got to hand it to her - her books are useful, inspiring and usually quite practical (unless it's a craft project - I mean, PLEASE, like I am going to make my own acorn placesetting things). I only rate it 4 stars because I wish there had been more ideas in the book - her books tend to leave you wanting more ideas since what is presented is usually quite good.

5-0 out of 5 stars wonderful...
This is a wonderful cookbook.I have several others that I use to make dishes, but I can always count on Martha's recipes to be the best.I have yet to make an average or bad dish using one of her recipes.They always come out great.The book has good pictures and a wide skill range for the recipes- from easy to difficult.It's packed with lots of recipes and side hints to help with anything from picking ingredients to preparations.The deserts are particularly wonderful.I love to bake and all of the deserts come out great- apple sauce cake, lemon bluberrry pound cake, coconut patties to name a few.Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Another Goodie From Martha!!
Love her or hate her, the woman has some GREAT recipes!! Everything from basic to show-stopper!!You will be so amazed at the results.Altho some pictures of the recipes look like you need to be a professional baker or trained at the Culinary Institute, they are actually easy.I have yet to make a recipe here that people do not ask for the recipe. A great addition to a cookbook collection.Many of Martha's highly requested recipes included. ... Read more

Nobody knows the holidays like Martha Stewart, and here she gives you all the information you need to have a spectacular Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. Martha and her crew provide you with a hearty Thanksgiving feast featuring Quail with Brussels Sprouts and Shallots, Garlic Roast Potatoes, and Roast Fennel. Later she offers up a tasty but simple family breakfast for Christmas morning and a sumptuous Christmas dinner centered around a Loin of Venison with Red-Currant Bordelaise and Roast Capon with Wild Rice Sourdough Stuffing. The lower-key New Year's Eve dinner of five dishes may be more appealing to kitchen novices. Read more

This offering from Martha Stewart provides a new, more elegant way to celebrate the holidays. The menus she presents are a refreshing departure from the traditional "turkey and dressing". Her decorating ideas are absolutely exquisite (a fact that did not go unnoticed by our guests). My friends and I enjoyed making the decorations and preparing the meal as much as our guests enjoyed looking at the decorations and eating! I only wish she had provided more decorating ideas. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Finally Organization
Jerry Baker's Green Grass Magic is a wonderful book for people who want to know more about growing grass (the turf kind) but, don't want to be to technical. He does get into the technical aspects of Grass but those sections are delivered simply and in small chuncks with a dose of humor. What I like about Mr. Baker is that reading his books is a bit like talking withyour grandfather, he interjects tidbits about how life was and wisdom from his Grandma Putt, in with his advice for your lawn. Mr. Baker has finally gotten better in orginazing his books. You can quickly find the information that you want. His chapter headings give you an idea about that that chapter is about which makes it easier to find a given subject and the book is indexed. He has put all of the recipies that crop up in the book for his various tonics and such in the back of the book as well as through out the book. It makes it a lot easier to look up what is in a given tonic. I like the tonics that he gives though, the neighbors raise eyebrows when they find that I am buying Beer for my lawn, but, if you do what he tells you to do then you will have a more beautiful lawn.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book
I recently purchased this book.
5-0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book for the Hand-Quilter!
This is a beautiful book with wonderful photographs of both vintage and contemporary quilts. There is a sufficient amount of instructional photographs also. If you have an appreciation for the classic art of hand-sewing, then Beyer's techniques can get you started. Beyer takes the reader from fabric choice to basic piecing, quilting and finishing, and everything between. The book also includes charming little quotes and delightful stories that give the reader a glimpse into the past lives of quilters and their quilts.

4-0 out of 5 stars First Time Quilter
I recently decided to take up quilting as a hobby.I haven't touched a sewing machine since 7th grade, so I figured I'd give hand quilting a try.This book definitely gave me the confidence I needed to get started.The hand quilts Jinny has made are inspirational, and all the detailed instructions are perfect.I especially appreciate all the photographs that show stitches step-by-step.

5-0 out of 5 stars A room within myself
How many woman have a room within themself?How wonderful to actually be able to materialize that very room.This book shows the love, peace, energy and spirit of a room by the owner.It5-0 out of 5 stars A Room of My Own
Wonderful book! A friend of mine loaned me her copy, but I had to go out and buy one for myself. Beautiful photography and inside stories about women who were brave enough to carve out their own space and call it that, "Mine!'. Many women I know would love to find the courage to do this, but don't. We all need a little corner to call our very own. I have one now thanks to Ms. Casson Madden. I'm surrounded by items which inspire and motivate me to do, think, and be my best. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Never sew without it!
This is by far my favorite pattern fitting book. Every pattern you sew must be fitted--and differently for every person you sew for. Every fitting solution I have tried from this book turns out great. Each fitting solution in this book is given in one-paragraph summary form (the "Fast Fit") for the extremely experienced tailor, and then given in simple, numbered steps for the very beginner.In each fitting solution Ms. Betzina makes an extra effort to find the simplest modification that affects the fewest pieces of the pattern, unlike some alteration books that have you shredding the pattern into small pieces.She even gives you the sequence in which to make your modifications.
5-0 out of 5 stars My Most Useful Sewing Book
I borrowed this book from the library about 10 times before I finally bought it.If your clothes wrinkle at the bust or pull across the tummy, there's a reason and this book gives it to you and then tells you how to fix it, so all your clothes fit like a dream and make you look 10 pounds thinner.No kidding, good fitting clothes will make you look younger, thinner, richer and smarter.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not much of a cookbook
Like other reviewers, I agree: the recipes are definitely "hit or miss."Don't rely on recipes from this book to impress (although they certainly "sound" impressive).
5-0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!!
This is a GREAT cookbook - maybe the reviews about wrong recipes are right, but I have made quite a few and they're all absolutely delicious.
1-0 out of 5 stars A Complete Waste
Did anyone bother to check any of the recipes in this book? I think not. Not only are some of the ingredients difficult to get a hold of, the end product is a disaster. How difficult is it to compile recipes that have actually been made? Not very. But apparently it's much easier to just make them up. Like many have posted here, it is not the occasional recipe but a substantial proportion of them. I think Martha owes us all a hefty refund, if not for the time, money and effort wasted, as least for the book! For now, this one goes in the fire kindling pile. ... Read more
