Sew a little love and give the gift of handmade with Vintage Modern Gifts!

A bright contemporary collection of over 20 patchwork and sewn projects, designed to make readers smile and have fun with fabric from Helen Philipps - a popular craft designer whose highly desirable style is a cross between Cath Kidston and Tilda.

The projects are all simple enough for beginners yet desirable enough for more experienced sewers, exploring different techniques including patchwork, quilting, paper piecing, appliqué, colour play, embroidery and embellishment.

Projects include small quilts, dolls, bags, pillows, hearts, puppies, flowers, stars, angels and more – all in a gorgeous coordinating color palette, with charming hand-drawn illustrations and exquisite styled photography.

Helen's blog is read by 30,000 unique users per month.

"As quilters we understand the investment of time that goes into any handmade gift, so it's a really positive thing that many of these projects can be made in an afternoon or so." --McCall's Quilting
