Books come and go here at a furious clip, yet only a few become my favorites. Doug's newest book has jumped right onto my favorites list! His design work is second to none! He has the ability to combine simple shapes into intricate works, and then present directions in a clear and concise manner. "Tabletastic" includes directions for twenty different runners and table toppers. Each design is shown in two different fabric combinations (thus 40 inspiring options!). Many of the projects can be created from pre-cuts (Doug has lots of experience with them, as he works for Moda!), alternatively, all can be made with bits and pieces from your fabric collection. I began by making the first piece in the book, "Trafalgar" and then moved on to cutting for "Milbank". The ideas in this book will keep all of us stitching for months!!!
