A constant source of inspiration

Many, many gorgeous fabrics -- the author presents handfuls of fabrics (real eye candy!). For each group, she explains how she decided what to make -- correct fiber, weight and drape for specific uses, coordinating patterns and colors for coordinating uses. She also tells how: what yarns and colors, what weave patterns, with notes on finishing etc. The best part for me is that she tells about the design process -- the thoughts and experimentation that resulted in each group. I turn to it again and again for inspiration.
