Terrific pattern book
The intent with this book is to provide the lacemaker with lots of simple, attractive patterns that work up quickly and easily. In this the author has succeeded very well. The style ranges from "cute" to "stunning", so there's something for everybody. A word to beginners though: this book contains diagrams only, virtually no written instruction. This is not the book to try to learn lacemaking with. But once you've worked your way through a decent beginner's book, you should have no real problem working any pattern in this book. This is a fave of mine for coming up with lacey last-minute gifts and good patterns to demonstrate with.

Quick, fun patterns
This book is fabulous. I have made several patterns with great results. I am new to bobbin lace and able to understand her simplified techniques and approaches. This is a "must have" for those looking for a modern approach to lace making. Fun, Fast, and Very Satisfying.
