The one item sure to make every sewer's wish list is "more time to sew." Quick to Make helps you make the most of the precious time you do have with more than 30 simple but sophisticated projects that you can complete in a day.

In this excerpt, author and designer Linda Lee shares three easy-to-sew pillows that resemble the $200 variety available from fine stores, but can be made at home at a much lower price.

Linda Lee is the owner of The Sewing Workshop in San Francisco. She is a contributing editor to Threads magazine and the sewing expert on Our Place on HGTV. Her books include Scarves to Make, Edges and Corners, and Sewing Stylish Home Projects (The Taunton Press) and Simply Slipcovers and Simply Pillows (Sunset Books).
