I love the way she lets the reader know what inspired each of the patterns presented. She offers many tips and alternate suggestions for making the project your own. Good resources for materials needed in the projects. Can't wait until Rebekah publishes her third book! Her books are the best in wool applique!. "Five Stars" according to Joyce Fuller. Good patterns and instructions for each piece
