Lark Crafts

Lark's new Stash Happy series is the cure for the crafter's dilemma: what to do with leftover fabric, yarn, and beads! Each book is full of fun ideas and projects-the series kicks off with Patchwork, a hot sewing and quilting trend. The collection offers twists on classic favorites plus useful items for the home, including a patchy panda doll, pieced cactus pincushion, and nesting patchwork bowls.

CYNTHIA SHAFFER currently lives in ORANGE, CALIFORNIA, with her husband, two sons, and dogs.
