The more I work on this quilt, the more I love it!
Oh I do love a new craft book, my amazon wish list is off the scale (preparing to distribute it to family for christmas, hehe).
ReplyDeleteLooks like you picked up some serious eye candy! The creative quilter is really singing to me!
Don't talk to me about books! I'd love to own the log cabin one.
ReplyDeleteFenced In is looking good. Love those fabrics.
I can never resist books! I'm sure you got enough inspiration to last for awhile.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt sneak peeks look fantastic. The colors just jump off the monitor.
