SUMMARY- Her instructions are well broken down and easy to read. Some Diagrams. This is a collection of nine(9) amulet bags. I particularly like the Beaded Reticule(you can see it there on the cover in dramatic black thread and yellow beads) and Hide Your Treasure With the Girls(this one's designed to fit inside your bra to keep valuables safe!). Karey's clever designs are always fun. I'm already making plans to use this book. (Karey's patterns run the gamut of difficulty and are engaging enough to encourage less experienced tatters to try the more difficult patterns(at least she did this for me!) Everyone knows by now I'm a big fan of Karey's, and not only have completed a catalog of all the issues of Tatting Times for the Bibliography Project, but with Karey's blessing, converted the first 20 years of Tatting Times to pdf format so she can sell them to those of us who came rather late to the party and missed out, with all proceeds going to a very worthy charity!
