Summary: Not bad, just not enough!
Review: Holmberg's designs are fascinating. However, it would have been nice to have instruction for more of the items shown - for example, there is a photo of a really cute "Toddler's Hooded Jacket" but no instructions for it! A really good idea sourcebook, certainly, although I cannot understand her fascination with watermelons. Instructions are given for only two wearable items - this was somewhat disappointing (Her first book contains more). There are some interesting techniques, but I definitely preferred her first book.

Summary: New Directions in Chanille
Review: I enjoyed reading this book and it gave me some new ideas. I especially liked the discussion about making quilts from chenille since I am the Quilting host at BellaOnline. I think that it is a bit cumbersome the way the patterns are included since they have to be enlarged. I was glad to see the pattern for the asymmetrical vest and the jacket. They are both very creative patterns perfectly suited for chenille.

Summary: some nice ideas
Review: There are some nice ideas in this book but it isn't what I expected. I found the instructions to be a little bit long winded. It's a nice book to browse through however and doesn't give the reader an understanding on how to make chennille. I would still want to have this book in my library though I don't think I'd have to refer to it too often.
