Primitive artist Maggie Bonanomi is inspired by nature. When you see the projects in this book, you will be too.

You'll find distinct designs for items to grace your home for every season. Maggie offers her thoughts on nature, her own rich color chart, and tips for recreating her unique look.

Here's a sampling of what you'll find inside:

Winter arrives cloaked in white, as is her Winters' Garden Bed Cover. We celebrate spring with a table rug, chair pad, violet pincushions - even a silly rabbit. Summers bounty is heralded with veggies: appliquéd and as funky pincushions. Maggie's fall creativity includes leaf-shaped nature journals, a punkin stool and gourd make-dos. The year ends with the colors of Christmas: holly branch vine embroidery and whimsical hanging birds.

As Henry Thoreau wrote: "Live in each season as it passes, breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit and resign yourself to the influences of each."
