SUMMARY- This book uses Batiks specifically to good attention. She also has a magnificent stash, and I think you would have to have a magnificent stash to fully use the patterns - or you will have once you've bought enough fabrics to make one of these designs. They're beautiful, but keep in mind the high investment necessary to achieve them. Batiks are not cheap. If price doesn't scare you, this is a great resource.
