Open Your Heart With Quilting: Mastering Life Through Love of the Quilting

Open Your Heart With Quilting: Mastering Life Through Love of the Quilting
 
Product Description:
Balancing the overall mission of a series of books with each author’s individual creativity and vision is an enjoyable and rewarding challenge. The goal of this note is to tie the loose ends together to make your experience with this book as meaningful as possible.
We have two goals with the Open Your Heart series. The first is to provide you with practical advice about your hobby or interest, in this case quilting. We trust this advice will increase your ongoing enjoyment of quilting or even encourage you to explore a new activity.
Our second goal is to help you use what you know and love to make the rest of your life happier and easier. This process worked in different ways for each of our writers, so it will likely work in different ways for each of you. For some, it’s a matter of becoming more self-aware. Just realizing what makes you happy while immersed in creating a new project, and then gradually learning to use those feelings as a barometer when dealing with your job, relationships, and other issues could be an important first step. For others, quilting provides an important outlet for stress and contemplation, allowing you to go back into your daily life refreshed. For yet others, you might discover how to meditate, how to connect with the mysterious flow of the Universe when you are immersed in quilting. Once you recognize the beauty of that for what it is, you can then learn to connect with the flow in other ways at other times.
We are not suggesting you will find all of your answers in this book. We are, though, inviting you to look at something you love with new eyes, a new perspective, and a new heart. Once you recognize the importance of feeling good in one area of your life, you are open to feeling good in the rest of your life. And that is the cornerstone to mastering your life.

Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time

Product Description:
Anyone alive in the 18th century would have known that "the longitude problem" was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day - and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. The quest for a solution had occupied scientists, and their patrons for the better part of two centuries when, in 1714, England's Parliament upped the ante by offering a king's ransom to anyone whose method or device proved successful. The scientific establishment throughout Europe had mapped the heavens in both hemispheres in its certain pursuit of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution - a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had been able to do on land. This work tells the story of this epic scientific quest, and of Harrison's 40-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. It also provides a brief history of astronomy, navigation and clockmaking.

Product Description:
Having a hard time finding a good crochet book to download directly to your computer? Want one that is easier to take along with you in the reader you already carry?

Here you are!

Dame Tyler has compiled her personally developed, Easy to Expert crochet patterns into this easy to follow set of instructions. Numerous as-you-go pictures show techniques step by step for several three dimensional flower granny squares, the bouillon stitch, double ended hook & circular crochet techniques.

You'll find simple patterns for chemo caps and wrist warmers, lap blankets, cell phone/video game cases and a touching story of how Crochet is a Universal Language.

If you are a yarn addict, you must read the 12 Step Program for Yarn Addicts! Learn how to run your own Granny Square Exchange.

Most crochet artists want to see the projects before they buy a book. That simply isn't possible online, as the pictures are most often on the back cover. Thus, she has included a page of pictures in the preview so you can see many items in their finished state or a swatch of the pattern.

A mix of advice, humor and personal story, Dame Tyler's Crochet Garden is the beginning of an odyssey of stitchery.
