I have a couple of Donna Dewberrys' painting books and to be honest she likes to take short cuts which maybe easy for her but I could never make them work for me. I'm to old school in painting and sewing quilting etc. I guess. Some like her technique but to me it's to hurried up. I do this stuff to relax not to see how fast I can get it done. I didn't know she had taken up sewing and quilting :-) :-)
