n_n_nikki's review against another edition
3.0
I'm not sure what I expected going into this book, but I'm disappointed by what came out of it overall. The plot was just outrageous and the ending so sudden. My nook showed 30+ pages left but there was no more story. Just a preview for another book. Despite its suddenness, the ending did seem to fit the feeling of the book. I usually like campy, but this didn't do it for me.
I did like the main characters through. Laurel was so refreshing when the media is constantly telling girls and young women they need to be thinner to be prettier. Laurel was comfortable with who she is, and I greatly admired that. Tom had good development too. I liked seeing his struggle with fame/publicity. Also refreshing that he liked Laurel for who she is.

Cute projects, just not too practical for myself or really to give as gifts to my friends or family. I did like how it was presented and the thought processes itself. If I had friends who were into these items it would be worth it and more.

Just as it said, this was a collection of small patchwork projects, mainly a variety of bags, mats/pot-holders. All appeared to be hand-stitched (not that you can't use a machine, of course) and vary in difficulty and style. Some require quilting, others are just patchwork.
I wouldn't recommend this book for a complete beginner, but as long as you have some sewing and quilting/patchwork experience you should be able to manage these projects. Don't be dismayed by the brevity of instructions included with each project - there's far more info in the back!
