This is one of the CUTEST paper-piecing pattern books I've seen in a long time. Lots of blocks, lots of patterns and project ideas, and good instructions. I found it absolutely charming! - I've been recommending it to foundation-piecing loving students! If you need something special for your sewing room, or for sewing friends, this one is well worth the cost.

A quilting friend who spoke only English took a trip to Europe. How did she get other quilters to walk up to her on the street and introduce themselves? She wore a jacket with motifs from this book!

Needles & Notions is OK. It did not meet my requirements for the project I had in mind but would be good for other quilting or patchwork. My fault NOT the book. When I get more experienced hopefully I will know what to look for in a book. Please don't let this deter you from buying this book.
