"My years of gratifying experiences as the Founder of the Crochet Guild of America gave me a broad view of the crochet world, and this book fulfills a long-held dream! Not only have I created a tribute to my beloved craft of crochet but I have also documented an important and inspiring aspect of contemporary art today."
