Pigga!.......2007-01-06
This book is a great addition to have in your library if you own a potbellied pig. I want the best for my pbp and so I have quite a few books on the porkers. It has a great section of tips listed A-Z. Also, the behavior section is good. I especially like the colored pictures of all the little piggies.=)
Excellent Animal Training Principles.......2006-08-02
I ordered this book because I have recently started training a potbellied pig. Having never met a pig up-close-and-personal in my life, I felt a need to educate myself. I was delighted with Ms Valentine's book. It is informative and highly accessible. The animal training principles outlined in it are absolutely sound and can be applied to the training of any animal, pig or otherwise, with the utmost confidence. She gives excellent advice on how to both prevent and cure common behaviour problems. Everyone who owns a pet pig absolutely must own this book! You will save yourself a lot of grief and have a very rewarding with your very special pet.

Customer Reviews:
Simply Amazing!.......2006-09-29
How useful is this book? Within a fortnight of its purchase, I repaired the damaged cockbeading on my mid-Victorian/ Scotch chest of drawers using a scratch stock, and managed to open a locked cabinet door on my Victorian chiffonier by cutting a new barrel key. Prior to purchasing the book, I had contacted a local carpenter regarding fashioning a replacement cockbeading for my chest of drawers. The carpenter assured me that the job was "...very complex" and placed me on a year-and-a-half waiting list. My local locksmith was prepared to charge me $150 to open the locked cabinet door on my chiffonier. The barrel key blank cost me $12.
The book is a breath of fresh air with its emphasis on restoration using old methods, techniques, and materials rather than prescribing the usual hearty dollop of filler and varnish to get your beloved piece back to its former glory. I found the chapter devoted to colour matching to be particularly significant, and I have yet to encounter a book that delves so deeply into the matter.
The chapter entitled "Is it Really Antique?" made for a fascinating read. The Development of the English Wood Screw, Woodworking Methods, Locks, and Anatomy of a Fake are all accompanied by a bounty of useful photographs.
Truly the most useful book that I have found on the subject, and one that I reach for before all of the others when I need a question answered.
Precise, Useful and Easy to Understand.......2000-01-03
Bennett has created a clear guide that both beginning and experienced restorators will find helpful. His techniques preserve the integrity and value of antiques by treating them conservatively. I especially appreciate Bennett's directions for formulating fillers and cleaners. If you want to do a proper job of restoring a fine antique this book is an essential tool.
An excellent and very useful resource.......1999-08-14
This book is full of very helpful information on many aspects of furniture restoration and repair. Unlike many books on the subject it gives you the information you need without wasting your time or money.

Book Description
Heartbroken by her beloved grandmother's death, Catherine cherished the tattered heirloom quilt her grandmother left. Every year, during the Christmas season, Catherine's husband retrieved the box holding Grandy's quilt from the attic and carefully placed the box where Catherine and their three children could open it and ponder the future of the frayed materpiece. They could sense the room fill with the love Grandy stitched into every block.
One year Catherine gazed at the quilt and decided she had to do something to make sure the only remaining eveidence of Grandy's spirit survived. The master quilters she apprached held little hope for preserving the fragile treasure. But Catherine couldn't-wouldn't-let the idea of saving Grandy's quilt go.
She shared her determination to save Grandy's quilt by asking her children for their ideas about bringing Grandy's quilt back to life. Their young energy and enthusiasm pointed to an answer that amazed everynone, especially Catherine.

A Real Treasure.......2005-02-28
This is a wonderful story about a tatered quilt that Grandma made. It is very heart warming to read how someone went thru such great lenghts to try to find a way to restore a old tatered quilt. There was no stopping her. It could very easily become a Christmas classic you will read every year. the story is wonderful as well as the illistrations. I highly recommend it
Grandy's Quilt.......2005-02-24
This book is a wonderful story about preserving family keepsakes and memories. In this story the quilt brought back very special memories of precious times spent with "Grandy" and keeping those memories alive by sharing the quilt in Christmas gifts to other family members. This is a story that everyone can relate to with their own grandparent's keepsakes! It's a short, quick read that parents should read to their children every year to keep those family memories and traditions alive.
Grandy's Quilt.......2005-02-24
What an awesome book, It's nice to see that things of the past can still be treasured and remembered through the generations. This book is loved by all ages and brings back memories to everyone that reads it. The perfect gift!!

Book Description
Rich, luminous fabrics.
Eleven miles of thread.
An uncountable number of stitches.
Clear, sparkling words.
With these ingredients Anna Grossnickle Hines celebrates the lights that brighten the darkest season of our year. In poems and quilts she captures each heartening glow and flicker, from the moon and aurora borealis to the holiday lights of Santa Lucia, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Chinese New Year to one lone candle and a hidden flashlight in the deep, dark night.

leaves out Jesus the Reason for the season.......2007-02-05
This is a poem book about things that happen in the winter. Each poem is pair with a quilt that was made by the author. The poems are about the quilt that is pictured such as snow themes and holidays that are celebrated in winter time.
All sorts of holidays are featured such as Kwanza and Hanukkah. Christmas was mentioned in one poem but Jesus was not.
This would be great for kids and grandmothers who enjoy quilting to enjoy together.
Poetry, in words and cloth........2006-02-01
The poems are lovely, the quilts are spectacular. Yes, the book is great for four and five and ten year olds (I am mother of the latter two ages!) and, pleasing too for 43 and 45 year olds, as well! (the parents of said five and ten year olds) Poetry comes in many forms: letters and words, yes, but also in these fabulous textiles. What a wonderful antidote to a cold, dark grey winter. Check this out; you can't possibly be disappointed, esp. if you notice the figure who looks like he is out of E.J. Keats "The Snowy Day".
beautiful read aloud book.......2005-11-15
i bought this book to read to my daughter who is four. it instantly became her favorite bedtime book. i love the illustrations and the poems -- we savor each page, taking it slowly. The page with the faralitos is incredible. I've never quilted, but this book makes my fingers itch!
Amazing Winter Lights!.......2005-10-27
This book is absolutely SPECTACULAR! It's hard to believe the immaculate art and intricacies that went into the making of these breathtaking quilts. Coupled with the well-crafted and delightful poetry, this is a great book for kids and adults alike. No wonder it's received so many starred reviews.
Customer Reviews:
Good book but...........2005-03-28
I have enjoyed this book, it has many cleaver patterns to use with their quilts. While making one though I discovered they are pretty vague on the directions. Saying something like attach piece b to piece a but not telling which side of the piece to attach. I have had to take out several rows of stiches and now realize I have to look carefully at the picture and try to figure out which way the pieces go. I'm making the turtle quilt right now and their are many pieces each with many sides. It's a good idea book though. Enjoy! Just try the pieces before actually sewing them.

Pattern Review.......2007-01-14
This book has more beautiful patterns all in one book. Usually when you buy a book, it may have one or two patterns that spark interest, but I have never seen this quantity of unique patterns. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to create because these are truly creations.
Great Afghan Book.......2007-01-11
This book has a wide variety of patterns that are easy to follow and easy to make.
Delicious Array of Crochet Patterns.......2006-11-10
This crochet pattern book includes a wonderful variety of great patterns. Just purusing this book makes you want to crochet up every pattern inside...
Just what I was looking for !!!.......2006-07-17
This is one of the books, that I've been looking for, everywhere, and when I found it at amazon, I didn't waste any time, in buying it.
The afghan patterns are all great, and worded so that we can understand them.
Thank You,
Love the "Seasons" series!.......2006-03-13
This is the fourth "Afghans for All Seasons" book Leisure Arts has put out, and it is my favorite. I've made 4 blankets from it for gifts, and there are still others I want to do! The directions are easy to follow, using the usual abbreviations in all Leisure Arts books.
I love the wide variety in all the "seasons" books compared to other Leisure Arts books. From my sister in Houston to my brother in Detroit, I can find a pattern suitable for any climate, age, gender, etc. I must confess I chose different colors for each blanket than the book has (to match decor) but that was easy to do.
I also love the wide variety of sizes, complexity, and speed. I was able to make a large afghan for my tall brother very quickly because the pattern used two threads together. Another smaller baby pattern was perfect for my friend's new nursery. One pattern that they showed in a solid color was easy to convert to two colors. Still another I made for my mother was an easy, repetitive pattern, so I was able to take the blanket anywhere to work on without bringing along the book (much easier to just sit and chat without stopping to check the book directions!)
If you want to get just one book with a wide diversity of GOOD patterns, this or another of the "seasons" series is what I recommend.
