Notes: This issue is their page count high water mark. This is their 10th Anniversary issue, and Alice Korach talks about having sold about 20,000 of their first issue, and 200,000 of this one...She also talks about testing all
patterns before publishing, with the exception of Rebecca Brown Thompson's "Leaf Lei" - they way things are worded, I'm uncertain whether people had problems with the instructions...
