The Best of Paula Vaughan, Book 2

This post shows the 25 designs included in The Romance of Paula Vaughan, published in 1998. To see the rest of her work, and to read my hints for finding these out-of-print patterns, please visit my main Paula Vaughan post.

I have to confess that while I own a complete collection of Paula’s patterns, I don’t own either of the “Best Of” books. That’s because I own the books or magazines where they were originally published, and haven’t felt the need to spend money to buy those same patterns again in a compilation book! For the photos, I’ll use the cover of the book or the preview/sample photo as it was originally published.
