Whether you would rate this book a three or a four depends on whether you have children or not. I live alone and not as many of the projects appealed to me as much as those in Stocker's next book which focuses on quilts. But Wise Craft is imaginative and not too dorky, and you could do the projects in QUARANTINE. How they turn out depends a lot on the creativity you bring to it, and whether you have junk with possibilities.
