I have just begun to learn how to sew and this book is so full of ideas that even as a beginning can try - I love the detail and how the instructions are easy to understand even for an amateur

The instructions were very basic, if you are a beginner then this isn't a great book. I would have liked a picture of each step and patterns.

I loved the patchwork applied to pillows which is very joyful. The book is a reference book patchwork. The steps by steps projects can be done any time of the year. The collection contains items from Easter to Christmas. Very useful.

Tilda Sewing by Heart by Tone Finnanger has a wide variety of projects. This book is a resource for anyone who enjoys sewing. It is a selection of designs that includes
patchwork, applique and quilting projects that will bring color and beauty to your home. 

An intermediate to advanced sewer will find this book easy to go through, while a beginner like me can pick some of the easier projects and work up with experience. The patchwork animals look fairly easy to start with and make good use of scraps. If you haven't tackled a quilt before, the steps are shown. I highly recommend this resource. 

Thank you F+W Media and SewandSo via NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is all about traditional quilts in traditional patterns and fabrics. Then after the quilt design there is normally how to make a pillow, and how to make something else, like a bee or a flower. Overall not a bad book, but more for beginners.

Tilda books by Tone Finnanger fill up my crafting shelves so a new book is something to celebrate!
Using the distinctive Tilda fabrics,Tone creates whimsical items for home decoration and gifting alike. The patterns are clearly written and I think the only thing I would add is I like paper patterns or links to print outs as resizing can be a bit painful. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read this in return for an honest review.

This is a great book with wonderful pictures and easy to follow directions for patch working

Having stitched a few of the Tilda dolls I was excited to receive this book. It's mostly about patchwork, using Tilda fabrics of course, but with some lovely soft toys, pincushions, throw pillows in addition to quilts. There is one doll so I was not disappointed in that respect! It has full size templates for all the patterns, plus lots of how-to information for those not skilled in sewing. A lovely book perhaps for those new at quilting or needing inspiration.
Thanks to the publisher for a digital review copy.

This is a gorgeous book for all who like Tilda's style and quiltwork. There are several deliciously beautiful patterns for pillows, blankets and Tilda style decoration items. The instructions are very detailed and there are both beginner and advanced level projects. The photos are excellent. I enjoyed reading the book and will definitely try out some of the projects.

lovely book full of inspirational illustrations of a variety of vintage style quilting projects. The instructions are very good and most of the projects could be attempted by all levels, I particularly liked the soft toys. would make a perfect gift. Thank you.

Such stunning designs available in this book. The instructions and images are very clear. I loved the fabric flower design and the tree pillow. Everything is this book will look gorgeous in the home and as gifts.

"Tilda Sewing by Heart' by Tone Finnanger is a delightful array of projects. Her ideas are adorable and inventive. Her use of color is terrific. Having read tons of instructions for quilts in my life, Ms. Finnanger has clear concise well written instructions. There is no searching for how many blocks you need to make and how the quilt is laid out. The templates at the back of the book are also well done. There are also beautiful pillow to make which match the quilt. Also with all your left over scraps she uses them to make yet another project. I enjoyed this immensely and look forward to working on several of the projects in the book. I only have one detraction. When you are looking through this book at the photographs, do not let the background of the photograph (the wallpaper) distract you from the actual quilt. The quilts are beautiful so take the time to really look at the quilt itself on the pages that follow. Wonderful! Look forward to seeing more from Ms. Finnangar.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Ms. Finnangar and F+W Media SewandSo for ARC in exchange for an honest review.

These fresh quilts and sewing projects from Norway are ADORABLE!

The book features 7 full-size quilts plus smaller sewing projects such as pillows, pincushions and soft toys.

All the projects use the Tilda fabric lines including Cabbage Rose, Bumblebee, Circus, Harvest, and Cottage lines. You can view the fabrics at https://www.sewandso.co.uk/category/saq-tilda-crafts-tilda-fabrics?TRE00049.

The patterns have some unusual methods. For instance, the stuffed Santa doll's legs are made with pieced fabric. To construct, one sews the various widths of fabrics into one unit. The leg pattern is laid over the pieced unit, traced, and cut with seam allowances. Each leg has two pieces which are sewn and turned.

Flower quilt, pillows, and fabric flowers

I received a free ebook from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

A fantastic book, brimming with inspiration for avid needle crafters like myself. A wonderful addition to any bookshelf!

This book is fabulous, yes you may say it uses Tilda fabric, which is glorious, but you don't have to. There aren't only quilts in this book, but wonderful imaginative pillows and toys/accessories.
This book isn't just another quilt book, it is an exercise in fabric colour and pattern use. The designs are not difficult, they could be completed by a beginner but the fabric combination makes this a very exciting book. I just love the Cabbage Rose quilt which is quite traditional, but the others are wonderful, bright yet blended and restful.
A list of swatches are given, but other fabric in like colours can be used if unavailable, or just use what you like..

Sewing by Heart is the newest pattern and fabric collection book from 'Tilda' (Tone Finnanger). The fabrics are (as always) beautiful and delicately colorful and so wonderfully coordinated. I absolutely love the designs. The patterns include several groups of coordinating projects: quilts with matching pillows, soft toys or decor items. The quilts are pieced in the traditional fashion but the patterns are new-to-me and original. There are both pieced, modified mola (reverse applique) and traditional applique projects. They are all beautiful and I had trouble picking out what to do first.

There are (by my count) 24 separate projects in 7 broad categories. The 7 quilt patterns alone are worth more than the purchase price. The book also includes chapters covering materials, techniques, scale and full size patterns (there are also printable pattern links), and a handy suppliers list at the back of the book.

There are nice full color photographs and illustrations throughout.

Published 17th November, 2017 through F+W Media and Sew and So, it's 144 pages and available in ebook and softbound formats.

Four stars, beautiful and original quilt patterns and beautifully showcased quality fabrics.

This book is brilliant. If you love vintage fabric, sewing and bees this is the book for you. The book is very informative with step by step instructions and descriptive illustrations. I would say most skill levels could use this book due to the amount of instructions that are included. . My favourites were the busy bees, flowers and the beehive on a stick, these are so cute and would make lovely handmade gifts. A great book for anyone who loves to sew.

Lovely Quilting projects with corresponding photos to accompany the well described instructions. Project patterns at the end of the book.

I love all books with sewing patterns by Tone Finnanger. 'Tilda Sewing By Heart' is as awesome as all the previous books but its main theme is different. The book is full of patterns connected with autumn: you will find the templates of foxes, pumpkins, a squirrel, a hare and many many more. I highly recomment it to all fans of scandinavian design, sewing, handmade home decor and patchwork. The design are easy to sew even for beginners. Perfect gift for all people who love crafternoons!

Tone Finnanger succeeds in making sewing and quilting fashionable again. The designs on her fabrics appeal to all ages and make her patterns appealing. This book has a selection of quilt and cushion patterns with a helping of toys. Toys not for children but adults who would make them for decoration.
The instructions and illustrations are clearly set out. I would think that a beginner would be able to start with one of the toys and build up their skills. The book does state that any fabric can be used but if you want the Tilda look then Tilda fabric is a must. Overall a nice sewing book for all skills.
