"night garden" by lejeune whitney, 1972

Nightgarden

it just so happens that i often end up with duplicate copies of the vintage craft books i collect. so not a problem because sometimes the content varies from one edition to the other. one of my absolute all time favorites is swistraw and the studio twelve looms by lejeune whitney. i have run across oodles of copies of it and you might remember seeing one in my flower loom kits (more on the way real soon). well anyway i just got yet another copy and was so delighted to see some projects i had not yet seen. pictured here is "night garden" by lejeune whitney. i just love the colors and all the different variations of flowers made from the same loom.
