SUMMARY- I have included more information in parentheses in the ToC, including the designer's names. The good news is - there are a ton of lovely patterns in this book. The bad news is, only one of them is tatted. It's a simple classic design with instructions put together by Kathie Ballard - the editors called it a snowflake...but it only has 5 points. My favorites are the Battenberg Lace set, which included a Luna Moth, Butterfly, Heart, Water Lily, Double Ball, and Star, and all of the smocked ornaments. If you are multi-talented, you'll love this book. If you aren't, you'll still love this book - lots of eye candy to aspire to.
