This is my most used stitching books. Highly recommend.
If you love buttons, this gives you history, detailed photography, and the skill level to make them. Instructions and illustrations are clear and easy to follow.

I picked this up to see what all there was, and there are lots of good projects - all but the frog knots were too time-consuming for me.

The diagrams are very clean and readable.

Great book of matching button ideas! This is the book that Bronwyn Hahn uses as a text, to teach her button class at the Pipeline retreat. Great examples and instructions.
