Whoops - just taking a closer look at my box - the books were Kaye Woods (had in my mind Eleanor Burns and that is what I wrote in my initial post). The books from Kaye Woods do have some great projects and tips.
That's what happens when you get in a hurry, I guess. Going out of town for five days, about every 5 or 6 days, tends to mess up my routine!
Happy Quilting to all.
