"A Silk Purse.....from a Sow's Ear"
by Jayna James

It is time to turn those older items and newer ones into enjoyable works of art.  Paint on chairs, fabric and more.  These projects are fast and easy and perfect for give giving and craft shows.

This is a new book, Copyright 1998, with 31 pages.  There are full size patterns and full color pictures of each project.

For those who love Raggedy Ann lovers, there is a beautiful pattern for  Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, which are over 20" tall.  They have hair made from hemp or yarn.  They are certain to be treasured gifts or excellent sellers at craft shows---if you can part with them.

Projects included in this book:

• Purfect Fireplace Screen--6 adorable cats that make a charming and unique fireplace screen.

• Seasonal Shingles--pattern for wooden shingles, vest and sweatshirts.

• Angelic Welcome--a Wooden cutout and fabric footstool cover.

• Forty Days...Forty Nights--Metal box and Lamp with Paper Shade.

The detail in these projects is fantastic.  The pattern for the Raggedy Ann dolls is alone well worth the price of the book, but along with these patterns you get the other adorable ones.  This book has projects for all types of collectors--Raggedy Ann, Angels, Bears, Cats, and Farm Animals.
