Foreword
When writing this book we took a trip to the mountains and photographed the designs in our log cabin, where the whole family gets together to celebrate Christmas. The photoshoot was particularly fun this time, as my little sister modelled with the projects for us.
Many of us enjoy nature and woodland, and the calming peace they bring us. At our cabin, nestled among the high mountains and expansive forests, you feel as if you've moved down a gear. Time doesn’t matter any more.
Most of the projects were made in the cabin’s little sewing room with its rustic log walls as a backdrop, and with next winter and the family Christmas in our thoughts. In our family, we celebrate Christmas the whole year round.
When the publishers asked me what type of book this would be, I answered an autumn and winter book with a hint of Christmas, although many of the figures and models are just perfect for any season. The appliqué on the Christmas stockings, for example, works just as well throughout the year on a cushion or bag.
Homemade was an important theme in this book; the figures and projects must really look hand made. The homemade angel has proportions inspired by primitive dolls from yesteryear; the animals are deliberately too long or wide and a little naive in appearance.
Some of the projects can take a little while to make, as they are hand appliquéd and hand quilted. They can be made simpler, though, and you will find a good selection of easier figures and designs to create throughout the book.
We hope you are inspired by these projects and have a fun and creative autumn, winter and Christmas!
Warmest regards,

Materials
This book uses materials mainly in grey-blue, cold and warm green tones, and combines blue and soft red tones to create tiny treasures.
The monochrome off-white and skin-tone fabrics are made from soft Indian cotton in various colours, which can be found in the Tilda range. These are used for many of the projects, such as Quilted Father Christmas, the Christmas Stockings, the My Town Placemat and the figures.
The cotton wadding (batting) for the quilted models and fusible adhesive are available from Tilda's partner, Panduro Hobby and quilting shops.
Buttons, paper elements, ribbon and gift-wrap can also be found at from Panduro Hobby and quilting shops. Bag rings and hangers for the cardholders, as well as the pins and hearts, are also available from the Tilda range.
A large selection of Tilda products is also available from Tilda's partner and their retailers.

Making stuffed figures
To make a template, transfer the pattern onto cardboard, either using tracing paper or by gluing a copy onto it. Carefully cut the template out using a pair of sharp pointed scissors.
Cut out a piece of fabric large enough for the piece(s) of the figure twice. Fold the fabric in two, right sides together, and press (iron) the fabric completely flat. Place the template onto the fabric and draw around it with a thin marker pen.
Do not cut out the parts of fabric before you sew.
Sew a small seam, using a 1.5cm (⁵⁄8in) stitch. Be careful of openings and follow the project instructions carefully. For figures with thin necks, sew an extra small seam on each side of the neck to strengthen it.
Cut out the pieces. Use small pointed scissors to cut about 4mm (¹⁄8in) outside the seam. Cut out a small curve at the openings in the seam.
For figures with bases, sew around the pieces after cutting out, before turning them inside out. This is described in more detail in each of the project instructions. Cut small notches in the seam allowance where the seam curves in, keeping at least 1mm (¹⁄16in) away from the seam. Turn the base inside out using a wooden stick. Pull the stick up from the inside of the seams and press the inside out pieces. Keep going until your piece matches the shape on the template and everything is properly turned inside
