SUMMARY- Quality remains very high for this 5th collection. They didn't tell us who the editor was for this one - Somebody had to put it together. I also found more typos in this one than all the others combined. Someone didn't proofread! I don't know if six year-old daughter of Cyndy Dowling is Sara or Sarah. My favorite in this collection is the pieced Penguins by Betty Sampson.

NOTE: There is an insert correction for "Hearts of Love" by Lois V. Johnson tipped into the book that could be easily lost. If your copy is missing its insert, you can get in touch with me for a scan of the insert. Just send me a picture of you holding the book.
