From the Publisher Remember Mobile ... first capital of French Louisiana, mother of New Orleans and Natchez, the only city in the Umted States founded under the direct patronage of Louis XIV OF France! Here is the fascinating story of the oldest French city on the Gulf Coast, from the days when she ruled more territory than Alexander the Great conquered, to her present status as thriving American seaport. Bienville, Cadillac, Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, Jefferson Davis are but a few of those who play parts In Mobile's past. As the flags of France, Britain, Spain, the United States, the Confederacy, and the United States again fly over her, the threads of her history and romance are deftly woven into a fabric of warm and vivid color. The bitter patrotism of colonial rivalry, the gaudy splendor of the Cotton Kingdom, the happy abandon of Mardi Gras: all these are in the story of Mobile and Mobile's story is - "REMEMBER MOBILE."

The front cover displays one bag in color. The instructions and illustrations inside are black and white. The bags are a combination of soft doily type overlay patterns that are attached to the purse liners. The crochet is very open and allows the fabric of the liners to show through and enhance the overall appearance. The fabric liners can be hand or machine stitched. She describes fabrics and interfacing that can be used.. She has provided an outline for each purse liner that can be photocopied for use in making each bag. You could make a crocheted overlay for only the front or make two, one for the front and one for the back side. I have never seen any patterns like this, they remind me of antique lace reticule purses of the past. Instructions for making tassels and adding dangles are fully illustrated. In addition, making purse straps and bead embellishment with illustrations are included. Some techniques can be used for other crocheted artwork and jewelry. Each crochet motif has diagram with universal symbols. Special bead stitches are listed and identified. Experienced crocheters will appreciate the inclusion of these diagrams. Small beads are pre-strung for the bead crochet and larger beads are stitched onto the crocheted motifs. Motifs are crocheted in the round, flat. Pattern stitches are listed and some bead stitches are explained in-depth. She has included some bead crochet techniques that are very helpful. General Instructions offers tips and good information for beginners. Thread size varies with each bag, from thicker size 10 crochet cotton thread to thinner 12 pearl cotton. There is are photo illustrations on page 9 which shows you each thickness of thread crocheted into the same motif and their size in relation to each other. You need to already know how to crochet and be comfortable with basic crochet stitches to make the patterns in this book.

In this remarkable WWII story by New York Times bestselling author John R. Bruning, a renegade American pilot fights against all odds to rescue his family--imprisoned by the Japanese--and revolutionizes modern warfare along the way.From the knife fights and smuggling runs of his youth to his fiery days as a pioneering naval aviator, Paul Irving "Pappy" Gunn played by his own set of rules and always survived on his wits and fists. But when he fell for a conservative Southern belle, her love transformed him from a wild and reckless airman to a cunning entrepreneur whose homespun engineering brilliance helped launch one of the first airlines in Asia.Pappy was drafted into MacArthur's air force when war came to the Philippines; and while he carried out a top-secret mission to Australia, the Japanese seized his family. Separated from his beloved wife, Polly, and their four children, Pappy reverted to his lawless ways. He carried out rescue missions with an almost suicidal desperation. Even after he was shot down twice and forced to withdraw to Australia, he waged a one-man war against his many enemies--including the American high command and the Japanese--and fought to return to the Philippines to find his family.Without adequate planes, supplies, or tactics, the U.S. Army Air Force suffered crushing defeats by the Japanese  in the Pacific. Over the course of his three-year quest to find his family, Pappy became the renegade who changed all that. With a brace of pistols and small band of loyal fol,lowers, he robbed supply dumps, stole aircraft, invented new weapons, and modified bombers to hit harder, fly farther, and deliver more destruction than anything yet seen in the air. When Pappy's modified planes were finally unleashed during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, the United States scored one of the most decisive victories of World War II. Taking readers from the blistering skies of the Pacific to the jungles of New Guinea and the Philippines to one of the the war's most notorious prison camps, Indestructible traces one man's bare-knuckle journey to free the people he loved and the aerial revolution he sparked that continues to resonate across America's modern battlefields.
