I really enjoyed reading this book...would of liked more detail into some of the projects. Favorite part is the sources pages. Buying this one for future reference for my personal library. Thank you.

Reminded me a little of Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking. Some cool stuff in here. Someday I'll try to make the bean teepee. The coolest might be making a skirt without a pattern. Good skills!
