SUMMARY- This is a lovely set of patterns made from basic tiling motif and edgings. You get excellent black-and-white photos. The instructions are all written notation in blocks - a standard of the time in which it was published. Ms. Smith did at least three other sets of patterns for this publisher(see listing below). She may well have done more - I don't know - I don't know where the series ended, and I don't know what patterns were in issues #22, #23, and #28. Marianne and Walter Kinzel published patterns up through 1958. So here's a mystery you can help me solve. If you have patterns published later and can help fill in the list below, please get in touch with me through My Contact Page.
