I have discovered the Wish List on amazon.com. I often browse amazon for books or quilting notions, or anything else that catches my eye. I created a Wish List and add things to it as I find them. My husband and kids and grandkids have done the same thing, so Christmas shopping should be much easier this year.
My list has a lot of quilting books - not necessarily patterns, but books about the history of quiltmaking, Civil War quilts, why quilting matters to us quilters. Hopefully, I will add to my bookcase this Christmas!
