A Project for Every Month!
In 2009 I decided I wanted to make a calendar using my textiles work. I wanted to use Lulu.com but, as the calendars are pretty astronomical in price, wanted to add a little more to it to make it worth the money.
I decided that I'd write a tutorial project for each month with step by step instructions.
The only problem with creating projects is that you can only fit so much information onto a calendar page and by the time I'd finished the projects I had step by step photos, more information than I could fit in the calendar page instructions, photos of the projects from different angles, details, ideas for futher projects and initial ideas and brainstorms.
I wanted to gather all of that information up into one place.
All my textiles books are available as printable digital downloads from Lulu.com.
About This Book
This book was written to accompany the Melted Fabrics Calendar.
I realised I had far more that I wanted to tell everyone about each project than I could possibly fit onto one page.
In this book you will find the original Melted Fabrics calendar pages, expanded instructions on how to make each month's project, work in progress images, templates and doodles.
Also included are further ideas for each project and related information from weekly Melted Fabrics challenges that relate to the projects.
To find out more about the weekly craft challenges I set please visit:

- I just started working on a calendar for 2011 filled with cross stitch projects and I was going to use LuLu.com but I see now that you mentioned it that the prices are a little high - looks like I'll be researching other options tonight.

- Good luck wiith your search - wish I could help. I only really looked at Lulu and Zazzle and they were fairly similar in price.

- What an amazing idea this is. I don't do fabric art, but I can see how anyone who does would be thrilled with this project.
