Known for producing high-quality, full-color pattern books with clear instructions and beautiful photography, they specialized in a wide variety of inspiring projects including crochet, afghans, plastic canvas, cross stitch, home décor, holiday designs, and more. In 1994 the company was acquired by DRG Publishing, joining a respected family of craft brands while continuing to delight makers with practical yet elegant designs that turned yarn and thread into treasured handmade pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eToday, these original printed booklets are true collector’s treasures. Each one captures the creativity and style of its era while still offering usable, heirloom-quality patterns loved by today’s fiber artists.
