3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, just not enough!, May 1, 2000
By A Customer
Holmberg's designs are fascinating. However, it would have been nice to have instruction for more of the items shown - for example, there is a photo of a really cute "Toddler's Hooded Jacket" but no instructions for it!

A really good idea sourcebook, certainly, although I cannot understand her fascination with watermelons.

Instructions are given for only two wearable items - this was somewhat disappointing (Her first book contains more).

There are some interesting techniques, but I definitely preferred her first book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative book, August 29, 2000
By Tamara Bostwick (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed reading this book and it gave me some new ideas. I especially liked the discussion about making quilts from chenille since I am the Quilting host at BellaOnline. I think that it is a bit cumbersome the way the patterns are included since they have to be enlarged. I was glad to see the pattern for the asymmetrical vest and the jacket. They are both very creative patterns perfectly suited for chenille.

3.0 out of 5 stars some nice ideas
There are some nice ideas in this book but it isn't what I expected. I found the instructions to be a little bit long winded. Read more
