Book Description
Whether you’re a farmgirl or just wish you were, MaryJane’s Stitching Room is a treasure trove of projects that will have you stitching, crocheting, embroidering, and tatting like one before you know it.
Along with more of MaryJane’s engaging essays and endearing farmgirl wisdom, you’ll find projects that have an irresistible appeal for the contemporary crafter who is intrigued with the delicate handcrafts of yesteryear. MaryJane includes nostalgic patterns with simple step-by-step instructions for projects to wear, for gifts, or to bring down-home charm to any room of the home, all with her unmistakable farmgirl flair.
MaryJane’s Stitching Room is a wonderful companion to MaryJane’s Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook, but it also stands alone as a useful guide to the handiwork of days gone by.

For all farmgirls out there
by Customer A30MZTTFXOG5FI at January 07th, 2008
I have to admit I am a Mary Jane fan. She let me know that I wasn't the only one out there dreaming of old times. Her newest book is all about that. It may not be the best craft book out there but that is not what matters, it's finding your way if you yearn for what was; for a simpler life.

MaryJane's Stitching Room
by Customer A30XZ3TKUMDEUN at July 15th, 2007
This is an interesting book for new sewers & crafters who need ideas. The projects are very folksy & hand-made looking. IF that is the look you want, then this book will be your cup of tea. It does have some interesting stories, such as teaching troubled boys how to crochet so they can learn to calm themsleves down & be productive.
Finally! An old fashioned crafts book!
