These three German authors love Scandinavian design - don't we all? If you need persuading- this book will achieve that. Gorgeous gifts to make. Yes, it's reminiscent of Tone Finnanger, my favourite Scandinavian crafts author. The big plus about this book is the pull-out, full-size patterns that are included on good quality pattern sheets at the back. This is a very special book that helps to make a house a home. It's full of ideas that will warm your heart. You'll want to make them for yourself as well as for friends. As gifts, they will be most welcome.
