Everything is always better with friends, right? Have you ever sewn or quilted with your friends or traveled for a quilting retreat? If not, you should definitely try it! It's a great way to relax with like-minded people and experience a true escape from everyday life.

Inside Make it, Take It by Krista Hennebury, you will find a lovely collection of patterns to create with your fellow quilters and sewists. Whether you're attending a local impromptu sewing day, or traveling to a retreat, the sewing patterns inside this book will help make your adventure even more enjoyable.

Inspired by her very own retreat experiences, pattern designer and author Krista Hennebury has gathered a perfect collection of patterns to help you participate in sewing and quilting adventures, both far and near from your home. The first chapter is called "Take Your Sew on the Road" and includes sewing patterns for a tote bag, scissor keeper, needle case, sewing mat, and more. Each item is designed to help make traveling with your sewing equipment a breeze.

The next chapter is called "Sew When You Get There" and features sewing patterns that are easy and convenient to make once you've reached your destination. Patterns include the Posy Pillow (pg. 66),  Woven Place Mats (pg. 80), the Lone Star Circle Quilt (pg. 86), the Rainbow 'Round the Cabin Quilt (pg. 104), and more.

Whether or not you plan to take your sewing and quilting on the road with you, this 112-page pattern book is a must-have for your quilting library!
