A collection of the very best of Pam and Nicky Lintott's jelly roll quilt designs from their previous books. Quilt experts and best-selling authors, Pam and Nicky Lintott have chosen their favourite designs from their back catalogue of jelly roll books to create this exciting, bumper collection of 25 quick and easy jelly roll quilt patterns. The Lintotts have been designing jelly roll quilt patterns since these popular pre-cut fabric bundles were launched back in 2007 and the quilts in this collection are their very favourites chosen from their previous 13 quilt books. Jelly rolls are the ultimate pre-cut fabric bundle helping you to fast track your patchwork and quilting projects. These rolls of 21/2in wide strips of fabric all from one fabric line are the perfect tool to make sure your colours and prints coordinate. All of the patterns in this collection only require one jelly roll - sometimes with some additional yardage for the background and borders- making them perfect for those jelly rolls sitting on your shelves that are waiting to be used. And, if you don't have a jelly roll, you can follow the patterns by cutting your own 21/2in strips from your stash to get started. There are a wide range of jelly roll patterns to choose from including classic quilt designs like nine patch, log cabin and bargello, through to more contemporary quilt designs featuring chains and octagons. Pam and Nicky decided they wanted a variety of designs suitable for different skill levels so that the book would be for everyone no matter what your style is and how much experience you have in patchwork and quilting. Pam and Nicky are renowned for their easy-to-follow quilt patterns that always give great results and work up quickly, and this collection features the authors' favourites from all their books so you can enjoy them in one complete volume.

Welcome to the first Instant Pot(R) cookbook to feature kosher food. Paula Shoyer has expertly developed a robust array of both traditional and contemporary kosher recipes for the king of all kitchen appliances: the Instant Pot(R)! Jewish food and the Instant Pot(R) are a natural fit. So many traditional Jewish dishes are soups and stews--prepared before Friday night and kept warm throughout Shabbat, when observant Jews aren't allowed to cook--and that's the sweet spot of the Instant Pot(R). For decades, Jewish families have relied on slow cookers to achieve the soft, flavor-filled stews of their ancestors, but they lamented the time required. Now, the Instant Pot(R) allows for vastly shorter cooking times without compromising flavor or texture. The Instant Pot (R) Kosher Cookbook includes timeless Jewish favorites tailored to this modern appliance: stuffed cabbage, Israeli cooked salads, corned beef, brisket, cholent, Yemenite and Persian beef and lamb stews, chicken soup, beet soup, kasha varnishkes, tzimmis, even apple cake. There are weeknight meals as well as recipes for Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, and Passover, along with kosher versions of international classics such as lasagna, sesame noodles, arroz con pollo, Asian noodle soups, and risotto--all expertly and deliciously adapted to the Instant Pot(R).

In 1884, twenty-three-year-old Corabelle Fellows left her family in Washington, DC, and journeyed out West to teach Native children in Nebraska and Dakota Territory. She hoped her missionary work would improve the lives of the Dakota and Lakota Sioux people by helping them assimilate into white culture, following the predominant government policy at the time. But after years of living among the Native people, it was Cora's perceptions of life, love, and faith that were transformed. It began with her friendship with Elizabeth Winyan, a remarkable Dakota woman who was a model of strength, compassion, and adaptability among her people. Winyan became a maternal figure for Cora in the strange land so far from the "civilized" city. She even saved Cora from being married against her will. Then Cora met Sam Campbell, a man from Scottish and Sioux stock. They fell in love and were married, though the match made national headlines after Cora's family disowned her. The couple struggled to find a place in the American frontier, straddling two worlds. For years their marriage was grist for the yellow press, and they became a sensational national story that led them to a brief stint as a sideshow attraction for traveling exhibitions and dime museums to support themselves. They would never live happily ever after, and the couple was plagued by racist rhetoric and sexist slander even after their divorce. Life Painted Red details Cora's experiences from her Washington, DC, exodus to her years living among the Sioux, and her scandalous, short-lived marriage to Sam Campbell.
