... again the photo doesn't do it justice - especially the materials which shimmer and have wonderful hues and depths. Although trust me to go to a place like that with a mulitude of beautiful things and buy books. The Quiltmaking by Hand - Jinny Beyer is a magnificent book full of informative pages which fuelled my romantic vision of me hand quilting. I actually doubled back to buy this book - I had looked at it earlier in the day and has been encouraged by its content but I had walked away thinking about what else I wanted to buy and thought that the book was a might 'out of budget' - however I 'just felt' that it was the right book to buy - yes, I did blow my budget - but I do think it will be one of those books I shall refer to time and time again...The same could be said for Perfect Hand Applique - I had "eavesdropped" in on a conversation that the author - Liuxin Newman - was having with another woman and I watched while she was demonstrating. Browsing through her books I saw the answer to a couple of questions I had been asking myself about applique and I thought too that this book could be a valuable resource. Her book came with a DVD which I will settle down and watch when I have more time...
