Title: Better Homes and Gardens' Creative Ideas: NEEDLECRAFT IDEAS
Editor: Laura Holtorf Collins
Format/Publication Date: HC:1988
Publisher: Meredith Corp., Des Moines, IA
Page Count: 112
Book Dimensions(ht. x w.): 11" x 8 1/2"
ISSN: None
SUMMARY- This is one of those pain-in-patootie craft books where the sample photo(which is often so cluttered with "atmosphere" that the projects are hard to study) and the instructions are in separate, inconvenient locations. Despite this, there are some lovely patterns in all their Special Interest Publications. This particular issue has a split ring star/snowflake by Mary Sue Kuhn, who brought split ring into the mainstream of tatting techniques.
