The second volume of this authoritative biography examines the last ten years of David Glasgow Farragut's life, focusing on the Civil War. Farragut's courage was tried as much as the Confederate Navy as by gross inefficiency and waste in the conduct of war, lukewarm support of the Federal government, lack of cooperation between the Army and Navy, and poor morale caused by war weariness and disease. In the face of these challenges Farragut proved to be a resourceful leader and fighter whose loyalty to the Navy and his country proved him worthy of being America's first admiral.
Showcases both traditional and contemporary quilting techniques for mini-quilts measuring less than 36" long by 36" wide. Many of the projects have appeared in gallery collections, and the designers provide detailed instructions and materials lists.
Current ladies' clothing and accessories feature an abundance of beads and embroidery. Baskett (Dazzling Bead & Wire Crafts) shows how to add personalized decorations to unadorned items purchased from malls and thrift shops. Projects include applying fake jewels, beads, fabric paint, and cloth appliqués to denims, T-shirts, bags, and flip-flops. This book would appeal to teenagers as well as adults, which makes it a good selection for public library general craft or YA collections.
