Victorian Ribbon & Lacecraft Designs

Summary: One of the best craft books ever!
Review: A co-worker checked this little tresurer out of our local library and I noticed it on her desk, the rest is history. Within days I was hooked and had to have a copy I could keep. I have a large craft library of books that I turn to for ideals -- Mary Jo Hiney book will be one I turn to many times.

Summary: Beautifully designed, artfully created and easily recreated.
Review: I first found this book in a local library and had it out for weeks at a time. The pieces are created with rich style and beauty, yet they are not cookie cutter instructions. The free form lines allows for imaginative uses, but doesn't force one to recreate a beautiful pattern from scratch. It also has some fantastic photography, which also shows some wonderful ways to display the completed pieces.
