Tilda's Toy Box has been a wonderful book to create from beginning to end thanks to the excellent help from all the designers and photographers, but also because of the gorgeous projects and the opportunity to immerse myself in the world of children. It was lovely to have a good excuse to play!

This book is entirely devoted to projects that you can sew for children, and we've made sure that all the toys are functional; you can take the clothes on and off them and they will withstand a lot of wear and tear.

I'm extremely grateful for the fabulous input from the clever ladies who took part in producing the book: Ingunn Eløy, who sewed almost all the projects following my explanations and patterns; Ingrid Skansaar, who helped with the scenes and styled and organised the photoshoots; Sølvi Dos Santos, who brought life to the photos; and Emma, our beautiful, charismatic model. The quilting projects were assembled and quilted with Crazy Pussle by Lappelises Quiltestue in Sandefjord.

Many thanks also go to the publisher, Cappelen Damm, who give me a lot of freedom and support in producing my books, and to David and Charles, who take the books out into the big, wide world with such enthusiasm.

And last, but not least, my family, who took it in their stride when the house was turned upside down during photoshoots and who were there for me when needed.
