SUMMARY- There was more tatting in this issue than I've seen in any other BHG periodical. You get a lovely article from Lauren Pelc, and designs by her, Kim Goetz and Darlene Polachic. There is a widely scattered potpourri of projects across as many disciplines - all related around the central theme of Victorian era aesthetics. I have a special fondness for these periodicals, and this one especially didn't disappoint because of my addiction to tatting. I'm fine with them not concentrating their efforts on a smaller array of craft disciplines - otherwise I'd Never see tatting in any of these magazines, but if you're into one of the more popular crafts that do have their own dedicated periodicals, well, then your mileage may vary.
