It is so amazing to have all these great projects together in one book. It was hard to choose my favorite! I have to say I have a strong attachment to Japanese Sashiko Embroidery. You’ll find some beautiful examples of Sashiko in Martha Stewart’s Encylopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts, as well as a CD …
The other week I had the rare opportunity of getting out of the office to see the Philadelphia International Flower Show. It was the perfect day trip from New York, just over an hour by train. The highly attended event dates way back to the 1820s. I briskly walked by most of the floral and …

It isn’t often that I find the time to do the projects we produce for the magazine for my personal life , as I’m always too busy developing the next story (yes, that is Thanksgiving 2010 for me). But today I decided to take the 15 minutes it would take to decorate my own house …
