WHAT I LIKED:
-There are lots of well-shot pictures of the projects.
-"Strawberries & Cream" project (p. 44) might be the only project I do because it involves making a picnic blanket with oilcloth backing (semi-waterproof).

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
-It doesn't seem to be geared towards beginners. This is totally fine for others, since many sewists have the skills to accomplish these projects. I'm not there yet.
-These projects also seem to be a bit more labor intensive than I'm willing to take on.

I love this book! The little house project with the stitched garden puts it on the must have. I won't make everything in the book, but I haven't made everything in any book I have bought!

Duvet/linens project and crochet rug project are only two of the many I want to do here.
