But wait, there's more!

Honestly, wasn't this worth the wait?

You'll be interested to know that those flappy things are "petals," and the color scheme is "buttercup bright." You're supposed to sew and quilt a bajillion or so of those things and then sew them onto a perfectly innocent bedspread.

The book notes that the pattern would be "equally effective in showy pinks, shades of burnished orange, or compelling magenta."

Or how about all three?
This lovely item is Number 2 on our list of Things that Make Ill-considered Decisions about Hot Pink. It's a rug, made out of felt. Goes great with the russet plant and the white marble hearth, doesn't it? Doesn't it????

I realize I'm beating a dead horse here, but the book ends with the ugliest little table of them all, also in hot pink and non-matching colors. Under the heading "Unusual Crafts." Yes. A hot pink table top spattered with red and mustard (the candles match, notice?). I would say that's unusual, and thank my lucky stars, too.

But hopefully the candles will set the curtains on fire and burn down all the stylistic abominations in this house.
