If you like crafting and learning new things then this is a really good book for you. The instructions are easy and the projects are fun. While this craft takes quite a bit of prep: buying canvas, fabric, locker hook, locking material, preparing fabric and canvas; the results can be quite fun and pretty. Once you have "mise en place" (all of the prep work done) then the craft is pretty simple and the results fascinating. This book is well written, the descriptions and illustrations are done beautifully. If you are into fabric crafts, rugs, or just want something new to do I recommend this book and craft.
