You don't have to like Laurel Burch to enjoy and use this crafting book. The images are typical of many Christmas coffee table books (loads of color)and all of the craft ideas and patterns can be easily adapted to any theme or season. Patterns and templates are included along with instructions and material lists. Since the book has been out for a number of years, you can spend a little time on Google and find variations on the projects created by other readers. Well worth the time and money to obtain a clean copy.
Laurel Burch created colorful, crazy cats and critters that have become archetypes for designers and animal lovers everywhere. In 'A Laurel Burch Christmas' her lovely art seems to be in a developing stage and not the finished, polished work it became in later years. Still marvelous, though, and interesting ideas for holiday decor, this is a book I will treasure always. Laurel passed away in 2007 but her style, wonderful ways with color and vivid imagination lives on. Don't miss out on this book. It is a classic LB and deserves a place in any graphic artist, quilter, designer, or kid's library.
It is a used book but in very good condition. Laurel Burch Designs are just beautiful!
