|title=Doctor Who: The Colouring Book
|rating=4
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=In my youth colouring books were popular for children: they helped to teach some valuable skills. But teachers, 'experts', thought that they stifled creativity and once you'd mastered being able to stick within the lines they were whisked away as being 'childish' and you were restricted to artistic completion of maps in geography or illustrations of experiments in science. The fact that colouring could be relaxing and fun had been forgotten. Fortunately times have changed: adults are encouraged to relax with one of the hundreds of colouring books now available and I'm delighted to see a resurgence of the idea for not just the youngest children but for those who're a bit older too.

|summary=Beth Sheard has created twenty five projects of varying degrees of difficulty ranging from simple makes which could be completed by a child with minimal help and supervision through to a quilt which would engaged the more experienced sewer. Throughout the book there's plenty to inspire every stitcher and it's all supported by examples made in glorious fabrics.

|title=Lucky Spool's Essential Guide to Modern Quilt Making
|rating=4
|genre=Crafts
|summary=It's perhaps easier to explain this book by starting from what it ''isn't''. If you're just thinking about making quilts then this is not the place to start. Much of the book will be completely unintelligible to you. Even if you have some experience you might find - as I did - that there are some subjects where you need more basic information to make the most of what you are being told. What you get is a series of ten masterclasses which will move you forward in specific areas and enable you to improve the quilts you produce.
