Dear Craft Team, Do you know of anyone in Sydney who is into the craft of making boxes, such as trinket boxes, from old books?
I used to think it was sacrilege to treat any book that way until I was given a set of “World Book Encyclopedias” and a set of “Childcraft”, both published in 1974, about four dozen hard-cover books in all.
As they are now thoroughly out of date, their only alternative fate is land-fill. I would rather see them put to good use.
I would be most grateful for you help. Thank you, Lynne M
I’m so very dissapointed that you will not be showing these beautiful moulds at the Perth Craft Fair in May so how do I get hold of them????
Hi,

I’m not sure if Channel 9 will keep it there for long but here it is for now. The clever designer featured is Teresa Dair and she is a regular exhibitor at our craft events. You can see her next at the Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane or Adelaide Craft & Quilt Fairs, http://www.craftfair.com.au or visit her website at http://www.dairing.com

Hi Trish,
Marianne used Bonnie Hunter’s ‘Star-Struck’ quilt design for Mikaela’s quilt. You can download the PDF pattern for free from Bonnie’s website at http://www.quiltville.com.
Simply scroll down and you will see in the right-hand column that there is a list of Free Scrap Quilt Patterns that you can download, including ‘Star-Struck’.
Enjoy making your quilt!
