The hurdy-gurdy, or vielle, has been part of European musical life since the eleventh century. In eighteenth-century France, improvements in its sound and appearance led to its use in chamber ensembles. This new and expanded edition of The Hurdy-Gurdy in Eighteenth-Century France offers the definitive introduction to the classic stringed instrument. Robert A. Green discusses the techniques of playing the hurdy-gurdy and the interpretation of its music, based on existing methods and on his own experience as a performer. The list of extant music includes new pieces discovered within the last decade and provides new historical context for the instrument and its role in eighteenth-century French culture.

Half square triangles. There's nothing like them in quilting...or is there? Meet the Accordion Sewn HSTs(tm) method, where you'll learn to sew half square triangles in such a way that each one is a little bit different from the last (ie no one has a twin!) and there is absolutely no waste of fabric! Once you master the technique, and it won't take more than a few minutes on average, use the projects included to see how organizing your accordions creates blocks and designs in no time! It's been called "addictive," "brilliant," and even "witchcraft" and it's the latest fun from the slightly kooky brain of quilt designer Beth Helfter of EvaPaige Quilt Designs.Seven projects complete with alternate projects and colorways and four border ideas, all using the Accordion Sewn HSTs(tm) method. If you haven't yet seen the videos of Beth Helfter sharing the basics of this technique on YouTube, you really should! It might just blow your mind. The three part video series can be found starting here: https://bit.ly/2sGwa8d.
