The variety of projects is amazing, with 35 different pieces to make including: a darling little pin doll which the author says is based on traditional Guatemalan worry dolls. They're very tiny and fit snuggly into a small child's hands. That's probably my very favorite project in the book. There are pot holders, craft bags, a make-up bag, a quilt and a playmat, decorated espadrilles, and even covered buttons. And that's just scratching the surface of what's shown. Everything is dressed up with embroidery in designs that hale from China, Japan, Sweden, Eastern Europe, the Incas and more. And what's wonderful is that with her work being so unusual, your finished products will be unique as well. She guides you, but you're not locked into completing your pieces exactly like hers.
This book would be a perfect addition to any stitcher's collection. I'd offer you mine, but would rather not lend it out!
