I'd have liked perhaps a couple more projects, but the overall content of the book is excellent. Very clear, simple directions which basically take you as far as any book can before it's simply a case of practise and learning from your own mistakes. The tulip designs seemed a little clunky and ugly to me, but the rest were really attractive and a pleasure to work. She starts off with very, very simple designs and builds up to the piece shown on the front cover, which gives any novice plenty of practise to build their confidence.
