I will think about making almost everything in this book! I'm disappointed, however, that I'll have to go somewhere to have many of the patterns I want to do enlarged. Also to do that, I'll need to have the book rebound so the pages will lie flat...I don't want to tear them out. Needs more clear instructions on how to do the tinting. Even so, I love this book! Wonderful pictures and projects.

It would have been nice if there had been a little more detail in the coloring instructions of this book. They were rather brief and did not include colored pencils, the use of fabric medium or any other details that I would like to have known about but found elsewhere. It is possible that the author wanted to keep it as simple as possible, but I did feel like there were things missing. That said, this is a really interesting book with some great patterns, and I am enjoying it immensely. I like the history the author included on how tinted linens started.
