There is something for everyone in this book, especially those who have wanted to try their hand at a technique that has gained popularity in recent years. Even the simplest “Sunny Bow” headband is somehow more appealing and unique than similar because it is done in the Tunisian technique! Or is it the absolutely gorgeous model baby that makes you want to make it right now! Personally, I plan to make several to have on hand, ready to go when the next baby arrives!

Simple wash cloths requiring beginner and intermediate skills use the same colors that previously were used in other projects in the book. Together, in many vibrant colors, they are almost sculpture-like. On display in your bathroom, you will have a little trouble allowing your guests to use them because they are so pretty!
