Crafting a Patterned Home: Painting, Printing, and Stitching Projects to Enliven Every Room

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher -

Create a unique space that’s all your own–bold and colorful handmade projects to fill your home with pattern from color expert crafter extraordinaire Kristin Nicholas. Jump into the world of pattern–get a crash course on the types of patterns and how they are made; learn how to gain inspiration and ideas from a variety of sources; explore ways of pairing different patterns together; and make patterns of your own to embellish your home. Kristin Nicholas takes us through her unique and dynamic farmhouse–and into her pottery studio and surrounding fields–and shares one-of-a-kind projects along the way. From a Geometric Striped Tablecloth for the kitchen to a Ceramic Tile Fireplace Surround in the library and a Printed Polka Dot Pillow for the bedroom, you’ll discover both bold and subtle ways to add pattern to your home. Full of inspiration, and with bright photographs throughout, this is a vibrant guide to creating a home that sings with handmade touches.

Even though I am a painter and a quilter I am afraid of colour and patterns - I cannot name an outfit that I own that has a pattern on it beyond a stripe. This book may change this. Colour is fun. Patterns are fun. This looks like doing this is fun ... I am hooked!
