Cushions are a great way of brightening up a room and giving it your own personal touch. They can be luxuriously decadent or homely and comforting; inject colour and fun into your life, or be soft and seductive. Whatever your style, Debbie Shore has a cushion cover that is perfect for you. In this sumptuous book, there are twenty-six gorgeous designs to choose from, with ideas and inspiration for many more, all with clear, step-by-step photographs and no-fuss, easy-to-follow instructions. Debbies designs have a fresh, contemporary appeal, and you will be amazed at how easy they are to make. And you dont have to spend a fortune either. You can achieve a designer look at a fraction of the price youd pay in the shops, and with her firm belief in recycling, Debbie has incorporated childrens old clothes, grown-out-of jeans, pretty dress fabric, unused table-cloths or even last years bedding into many of her designs. Be inspired - add your own flair and individuality to the cushion covers you make and, before you know it, you will be designing cushions of your own!

The book introduces the technique very thoroughly, so you can clearly understand the difference between traditional piecing and quilting and QAYG. Then there’s a great selection of gorgeous quilts that are sure to appeal to the modern quilter. A must if you’ve ever thought about trying QAYG and haven’t had a clue where to start.” —Make Modern Magazine
