SUMMARY- This is the earliest Priscilla book that I have, and it advertised 9 others on the inside of the back cover. I listed the patterns best I could describe them - most are not labeled in the book. As you can see by the ToC I put together, there is a whole lot offered, and they went over some of the ways they patterns could be used for other than cross-stitch. I was particularly pleased to add this one to my library.
