I recently purchased a book by an award winning quilter. She is British. Her quilts are amazing and I was expecting not details or patterns, but a little more ideas on how to make the original designs. Instead it was a recollection of useless information about her design room, snap shots of her quilts and in general, information that you can get cheaper in any other quilting book. If I go to a trunk show I would expect this kind of things, but after attending the Ricky Tims Seminar, I have a high standard to measure lecturers. Is the only class I ever attended where I did no sewing but learned a lot.
