Book Description
Journey through the calendar year with three top quilt designers and teachers. These special friends have designed a quilt pattern for every month and combined their diverse styles to create unique and exciting new designs. They also share fabric selection ideas, how-to sections on Stack-n-Whack and Appli-bond, and techniques and tips to use all year round. Joan Shay's designs feature her easy and popular three-dimensional Appli-bond method for creating flowers, birds, and fish. Bethany Reynolds presents several fun, new Stack-n-Whack designs -- a method that has taken the quilt world by storm. Karen Combs adds her special insight with quilts of illusion that delight the senses. From enchanting applique to dazzling patchwork, the great variety of projects offered will bring quilting excitement throughout the year. AUTHORBIO: Karen Combs is an internationally-known quilter, teacher, author, and designer whose students nominated her for Quilt Teacher of the Year in 1995 and 2000. In high demand as a teacher (she began teaching quilting in 1989), Karen encourages her students, makes learning fun, and makes the complex easy to understand! Karen is fascinated with optical illusions in quilts, a fascination that has become the subject of her many workshops, magazine articles, and books. AUTHORBIO: Joan, who was taught to sew on a Singer treadle machine by her grandmother, has been a quilter for many years. She has her own pattern company, Petal Play, which she operates from her home in Massachusetts. In addition, she has taught and lectured extensively throughout the country. She has appeared on television on the PBS show "Quilting from the Heartland" with Sharlene Jorgenson, and on the HGTV program "Simply Quilts" with Alex Anderson. AUTHORBIO: Bethany Reynolds is best known as the originator of Stack-n-Whack, but her design interests don't stop there. She has a knack for finding ways to get great results with less work, and she loves sharing her tricks with quilters worldwide. At home on the coast of Maine, Bethany and her husband, Bill, produce a line of specialty rulers and patterns under their BSR Design Inc. label. REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review says: 'In 3 Quilters Celebrate The 4 Seasons: By the Calendar Girls, Karen Combs, Bethany Reynolds, Joan Shay (three famous quilting professionals) collaborate to provide their specialties showcasing over a dozen quilt projects emphasizing diverse patterns and styles and approaches, providing a diversity of original styles. The color photos are wonderful embellishments.'

In 3 Quilters Celebrate The 4 Seasons: By The Calendar Girls, Karen Combs, Bethany Reynolds, Joan Shay (three famous quilting professionals) collaborate to provide their specialties showcasing over a dozen quilt projects emphasizing diverse patterns and techniques. Quilters will delight in the fact that these three veterans have very different styles and approaches, providing a diversity of original styles. The color photos are wonderful embellishments.
Wow!.......2004-04-21
I am floored by the 3-D Appli-bond of Joan's quilts as it is something I have never seen before but have to say that the three ladies work well together. I have seen Optical illions and the magic stack-n-whack before but have never attempted to try them. Not often I get to learn three new techniques all in one book. So often, I purchase a book and think it is beautiful but too difficult for me to do - not this one! It is definately full of beautiful and new ideas but looks easy with all the detailed instructions.
Book Description
When Dolores and Jack Cakebread bought their ranch in 1972, they didn't know a thing about growing grapes or making wine. Today, Cakebread Cellars is one of Napa Valley's premier wineries, and its exceptional wines are enjoyed in fine restaurants the world over. In THE CAKEBREAD CELLARS NAPA VALLEY COOKBOOK, Dolores and Jack present more than 120 recipes perfected in the Cakebread kitchen over the past 30 years. Using produce plucked from Dolores's garden and featuring fresh ingredients from Napa's artisan food purveyors, the Cakebreads share such seasonal masterpieces as Sea Scallops with Sweet Corn, Roasted Peppers, and Shiitake Mushrooms, and Roast Pork Loin with Apple Brandy and Whole-Grain Mustard Sauce. Best of all, each recipe is paired with a Cakebread wine, making it possible to re-create the idyllic Napa Valley lifestyle at home.

For Cooks--and for California Dreamin'.......2003-12-18
By Bill Marsano. If you haven't heard of Jack and Dolores Cakebread it's probably because their wine is so fine it's always on allocation--there's not enough to go around, so the annual production is allocated to customers and restaurateurs who supported the Cakebreads when they founded their family winery in Napa in 1973. Still, you can get a taste of the Cakebreads and their way of life through this handsome book, written with their resident chef, Brian Streeter. One guiding principle here is the seasons: They dictate life at the winery, and so the recipes are seasonal as well. Another guiding principle is "Napa style"--the kind of relaxed elegance the area has become known and envied for. It's simple, stylish and superb. The recipes are clearly presented one to a page in legible type, and they come from many sources. Of course one expects Hispanic and Italian dishes--the Spanish discovered the place and the Italians were among the first to grow wine there. But the Cakebreads have cast their net wide to cover most of the Mediterranean basin--southern France, Morocco, Greece are also included--and there are Pacific Rim and Asian influences as well. And just for lagniappe, there are several recipes contributed by guest chefs at the Cakebreads' annual American Harvest Workshop. After a few pages of this you are going to have a powerful inclination to get yourself out to Napa. You could do worse. --Bill Marsano is a James Beard award-winning writer on wines, food and travel.
Great Idea for a Gift Basket for that Wine Lover!!.......2003-10-25
SPECTACULAR PICTURES, Informative Introduction and Mouth Watering Recipes. If anyone has been lucky enough to have visited this Winery up in Napa or better yet fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of a glass of Cakebread Chardonnay (or even if you have not) this book is wonderful in presentation and perfect for a Gift no matter what the occasion. Gift Ideas; for that Boss that has everything but appreciates good wine and good food, Housewarming, Present for that Culinary Art Student. If you have friends who love to entertain and your going over during the Holidays... instead of bringing a bottle of wine (like everyone else) give this book, Holiday Gift Basket (with of course of bottle of their wine)((Smile))
I purchased this book the first day it came out and went over it with my Executive Chef; we are always looking for new ideas especially with all the Holiday parties coming up. Recipes are set for each Season throughout the year. I am only giving it 4 Stars because I would say the instructions are not for the novice cook/chef at home, I think the recipes are written as if you know (and I mean "KNOW") your way around a kitchen. The authors have tried to balance the "fancy recipes" with the easier ones to prepare and that is pretty consistent throughout the book from the Salads to the Desserts. I collect a lot of cookbooks and I am famous for collecting cookbooks that I will never use but still want them in my library(just check out my other "Listmania Lists").....I'd have to say that there are a few good recipes in this cookbook that I definitely feel confident enough to try on my own:
Phyllo Purses filled with Goat Cheese, Chives and Lemon Zest
Warm Goat Cheese Salad with Pancetta, Shaved Fennel, and Sliced Pears
Pan Roasted Halibut with Orange, Sherry and River Ranch Honey
Baby Back Ribs with Red Wine Vinegar, Rosemary and Sweet Peppers
Roast Pork Loin with Apple Brandy and Whole-Grain Mustard Sauce
Apple and Cranberry Crisp
I must add in respect to Desserts there are only 2 that are standard the rest are pretty fancy.

friends for the journey: a nice book..........2001-07-23
friends for the journey is a nice book. i found the book interesting, learning more about the thoughts and views of l'engle, as well as her friendship w/shaw. it's just a quaint little book.
Extraordinary.......2000-04-03
What more could you ask for than a book created by these two wonderful women--and friends. This is the beautiful story of a friendship that has flourished through miles and years--death and trials--beauty and joy. It is an inspiration and a tribute to friendship.
This is the kind of book you buy 2 of--one for you and one for your best friend!
This long-term friendship of two authors is rich in insight........1997-09-22
L'Engle and Shaw, friends for 25 years, are educators at heart. Here they teach about friendship by sharing their own balanced and loving bond. Through an assortment of poetry, conversations, journal entries and other narrative, they celebrate a connection that grew in spite of living many miles apart.
As they look back over visits, vacations and joint writing projects, one sees that they enjoy each other's company enormously. Along the way they reflect on many facets of friendship; with girlhood chums, male friends, spouse, and family. They also show us their friendship with God and we observe that communion as they share and pray together and enrich each other's faith.
These two friends, one in her 70's, one ten years younger, were there for each other as both lost their husbands to cancer within the span of twelve months some years ago. Luci Shaw has since remarried, but their bond of friendship continues to this day.
Readers who follow their work will enjoy finding familiar poems in this new setting. And will be happy to know that L'Engle and Shaw have collaborated again. Their new book is a collection of short Christmas readings. It is _Winter Song_, a lovely blend of their own prose and poetry

If you love the look of ribbon embroidery but want to speed up the process, try creating it by machine. It takes only a straight stitch and no special techniques, so with any sewing machine you can master the chain, lazy daisy, French knot, blanket, and many other stitches, then whip up projects for year-round use: spring dresses, summer hats, an autumn vest, a winter scarf, plus seasonally appropriate wall hangings, pillows, ornaments, note cards, and more. Or, combine any of the three dozen stitches explained in the illustrated stitch guide to design your own embroidered pieces. --Amy Handy

Customer Reviews:
Ooh, I just couldn't wait for this book!.......2004-07-15
Well, it finally was released. I was so excited to see that this book was on the way and I certainly haven't been disappointed. I just love all the decorating ideas in this book - my husband grabbed it and off he went to the store to buy the stuff it recommends. Sure was beautiful when he was done. This book makes decorating elegantly so very beautiful for the holidays, and it just gives you so many nice ideas. But, the RECIPES! Yikes! Better buy those elastic waisted pants because you'll need them after these awesome dishes. You know it's bad when you want to start with the first recipe and just make everything else afterwards. That's how it is with this book. It's really that good! You won't be disappointed with this book. I just love it!
