Tilda's Winter Delights

Winter is upon us...make it Delightful!If you are familiar with "Tilda" you will know what to expect from this latest booklet by Tone Finnanger...lots of adorable projects! She completely lives up to her reputation and what we've come to expect with yet more of her sweet designs. There are two more character dolls; skating angel and chalet girl. The polar bear seen on the front cover is fully articulated and comes in large, medium, and small sizes (Papa, Mama, and Baby, perhaps?) Additional goodies include: hexagon balls (also shown on the cover,) hexagon placemat, Father Christmas, paper angels, and Christmas stockings. There are full-size patterns for all of these items. In addition, knitting instructions are given for the Chalet Girl's sweater and socks. In pretty photos scattered throughout we see how we can use Finnanger's designs in ways for which she doesn't offer patterns or instructions. Of these there is a quilted pillowcase, quilt (not shown, suggested by making the pillowcase larger,) and a hexagon ornament.If you are NOT familiar with Tone Finnanger's Tilda characters and booklets--BE AWARE that as said above some items pictured within the booklet have NO patterns and NO instructions. In addition, some of the instructions are not detailed and all of the materials lists do not specify amounts needed or what kind of something you might need. An example of this is: "doll hair." I use Twice as Nice brand,  Popcorn Doll Hair .Update 1/2015: Amazon now carries Tilda doll hair in  Blonde , Light Brown , White , and  Dark Brown . In addition, there are other Tilda supplies that I used to only be able to find on Amazon's UK site.To make the hexagon balls and placemat a knowledge of paper-piecing is necessary. I have never paper-pieced and for me to make these items I would need further instruction.All-in-all, as a collector of Tilda, I am happy with this latest offering. I especially love the polar bears, angel skater, and chalet girl.UPDATE: 3/6/2015 Photos added.

Love Tilda’s style. The polar bears are so cute!

Bought this book to make the polar bear. I love it. Very easy to make and just in an afternoon. Looks very professional. Just aged a ribbon to top it off!

Just what I expected. Nice ideas for crafty folk like me. Some experience with sewing is necessary because the directions are not very detailed.

this book is beautiful Illustrated not as many patterns as I had hoped but lovely timely shipped

Very Sweet.I love it! I am a real Tilda fan! I have all of her craft books! Looking forward to the next one! She has a very cute and whimsical style.So far I have made her chicken and goose in dungarees and goosey has a hat! Her patterns are easy to follow.You must know sewing basics .though and how to stuff well.She gives lots of good tips too for making your dolls and animals.

Some cute patterns but I mainly got it so I could make the polar bear for my niece. I deducted a star because the bottom of the binding was bent up a bit.

Fast shipping and just as described.

Adorei o livro, exatamente o que eu esperava e veio super rápido.

Excelente.

Made several little polar bears from the patterns in this book. So adorable. Love them to bits. Can't wait to make more projects from this book. Beautiful Tilda book as always. Signature Tilda style projects and lovely photos as always.
