This picture shows a shuttle only edging called "curds and whey" which is so simple but really pretty, and also the flower motif from the front cover. The diagrammes are really well explained and there's a good variety, edgings, motifs, collars and doillies.I have taken on an Open University course which will be taking up a lot of my time, none-the-less I feel that this book will keep me inspired to do a little bit of tatting whatever the demands on my schedule.
Definitely gets five stars from me! (It was no longer available from Amazon, but if anyone is interested I found it at Handy Hands.)

Oh no. Now I have to buy another book! Good luck with the course.
This is my absolute favorite book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
All Mary's books are excellent. I honestly can't pick a favourite and would recommend all of them.

Thank you for the reference - I will try to search for it here.
I too am enrolled in Open University but should be finishing in September 2008. Good Luck!
This book is great, I agree. I have it and it is one of my favorite tatting books. Mary Konior has such pretty designs. I have really enjoyed tatting from it as it is visually rewarding even as your tat. The patterns are gorgeous plain or spiced up with some color.
