Hi Ruth
I am also from South Africa staying in Secunda and my afrikaans is much better than my english! I would like to tell you that I ordered a book from Rodale Health Books (did you know that quilting is good for your health?)
The first book I received was: The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide. After that there are a few follow ups: Sensational Sets & Birders; Perfect Piecing; Applique Made Easy; Fast & Fun Machine Quilting ect.
Rodale Health Books is in Centurion and their phone number is (011)265-4311. I can really recommend these books. I am a new hooked quilter and enjoy it very much.
