I recently found myself having to make a baby blanket for a colleague. I searched my many pattern books and came across this book. Over the years I have tucked many projects inside. While re-reading. It again (after a 15 year hiatus) I found the perfect pattern. I probably will never do the plastic canvas patterns or others, but there are definite treasures to be crafted for gifts to be made for giving. I look forward to enjoying this book again.
