Trotsky’s analysis in Lessons of October ran counter to the efforts of Bolshevik leaders to depict October as a foundational event in which the Bolshevik Party; and its clear-sighted leader Lenin; played the major role in bringing about the revolution in Russia. With this volume Corney has made available the major contributions to the polemic that surrounded its publication.

Primitive Look Folk ArtBy ElleAs the title suggests all the projects in this book follow the folk art (primitive) aesthetic and were inspired by artifacts of the 19th century and this is reflected in both the motifs and colors used throughout. There are 14 of these themed wool projects for us to make; enjoy; and give as gifts. I have loved appliqueing with wool for a long time and this book will be a good addition to my pattern collection. I especially like the 29x46-inch bed rug; cute 16x12-inch pillows; and the five beautifully designed table runners.There are great instructions for obtaining wool (flea markets; yard sales; etc.); processing it (dyeing and felting); and tips for storing it properly. Or it can be purchased ready to use at many quilting/fabric stores. Also given are illustrated instructions for the easy embroidery stitches used in the projects: blanket; outline; running; whipstitch; French knot; and stars. The tools and supplies list for creating the projects is a fairly short one with easy to obtain items that most sewists probably already have; such as: scissors; rotary cutter/mat/ruler; Sharpie marker; various needles; pins; freezer paper (I get mine at Walmart); and embroidery floss. There's also a resource list in the back of the book for everything needed to make any of the projects. A bonus; to my way of thinking; is the pull out; full-sized pattern sheets at the back of the book.I thought all the individual instructions for each project were complete and comprehensive with many color photographs. All in all; I really like this book.All but two projects (a needle case and patriotic table rug) are shown in the photographs that I've added to my review. For some reason; they did not show up when this review went live. I'll try again later; it could be a small glitch with . Happy Stitching!If you like the projects in this book; you might also like A Little Porch Time: Quilts with a Touch of Southern Hospitality.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.
