Books with author Margaret Hillert

I have two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two ears, and two hands. How can I use these to experience the world?From enjoying the taste of watermelon to hearing the sound of a fire engine or feeling a rabbit’s soft fur, five children explore how their senses work. Margaret Miller’s lively photographs capture their discoveries and invite us to share in the fun.

Granny squares are to crochet what pieced squares are to quilting. They originated with pioneer women using up precious scraps of yarn to make blankets for their families, and over the years, many recognized, named patterns have been handed down from one generation to the next. Beyond this treasury of 75 different granny square motifs, Margaret Hubert shows the evolution of the granny square, how it can be used and interpreted in different ways with different yarns, and how today's crocheter can design her own projects using the granny squares of her choice with the yarn choices of today. Just as Margaret learned from her grandmother and mother and then passed the skill down to her daughter and granddaughter, each generation finds new uses and artistic ways to interpret granny squares.
