Review & Description

Pilot FriXion Ball Erasable Gel Pens allow you to erase and rewrite repeatedly without damaging documents. The thermo-sensitive gel ink formula disappears with the erasing friction of a rubber tail plug eraser on the pen. Erasing leaves no residue or debris. Each pen can write on the same spot that has been erased. Each gel rollerball pen delivers smooth writing gel ink and is not recommended for signatures, examination papers or official documents where writing needs to remain permanent or for exposure to extreme temperatures.

A Boy Called Duct Tape (Paperback)

A Boy Called Duct Tape
A Boy Called Duct Tape (Paperback)
By Ron Hutchison

Review & Description

Pablo Perez is a 12-year-old poor kid without much going for him. His classmates have dubbed him “Duct Tape” because his tattered discount-store sneakers are held together with…you guessed it, duct tape. He can’t escape the bullying. Pablo’s luck, however, changes after he finds a $20 gold coin while swimming in a river near his home. Pablo later buys a $1 treasure map at the county fair. The map shows the route to the “lost treasure” of Jesse James. Pablo can’t help but wonder: Is there a link between the map and the gold coin? He is determined to find out, and he, his 9-year-old sister and 13-year-old cousin hire an ill-mannered cave guide, and begin a treacherous underground adventure in search of treasure. Read more

Review & Description

From master quilt artist Yoko Saito, Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece explores traditional folk themes and interprets them with a vintage, yet modern feel. Inside, you'll learn traditional patchwork techniques, such as log cabin, hexagons, baskets, and stars, sewn in soft sepia and taupe fabrics. Featuring piecework, appliqué, machine stitching, handstitching, and embroidery, these projects are a delight for anyone who loves doing needlework. You'll also discover large wall quilts as well as smaller projects, from fabric baskets and handbags to an apron and fabric cushions--all with enclosed paper patterns.

In her masterful style, Yoko Saito uses beautiful and meticulous stitching while still embracing the wabi sabi concept of imperfection, using odd-shaped pieces and quilting with a free mind. Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece invites all quilt artists to stray from conventional designs and create one-of-a-kind quilts and quilted projects.
