Book excerpt: Here is a celebration of country crafts -- a tin candle sconce, an Amish quilt, a toy chest embellished with stenciled decoration, and many other folk art crafts, each one beautifully illustrated and its historical background explained. You can recreate some of these items by following the original projects that draw inspiration from the past but which use modern materials and timesaving devices. Includes more than 30 traditional craft ideas and projects -- from basic cards and decorations to complex patchwork, candle-making, and woodworking activities. Clear step-by-step instructions and 200 color illustrations show how to create these keepsakes.
