SUMMARY- There are a lot of lovely projects packed into this book, and a lot of different disciplines are covered. I like that kind of potpourri approach, so this was a great find for me. You get color photos of all the projects, though it's hard to see detail in many of them - especially the group photos of the smaller projects(of which the tatted heart is one). They gave the designer's names - as an afterthought on the last page of the book. I've taken the time to put the designer's names in parenthese beside their design in the Table of Contents - it took about an hour of my life I'll never get back.

There is only one tatting pattern - a gorgeous heart designed by DMC's Marion Leyds. It is used in two places in this book - as a tree ornament, and as an attractive card applique.
