Libby lives in Houston and I took her Threadplay class at Quilt Festival several years ago. Lots of fun! Someone asked her what batting she used, and she said she got it at Walmart - convenient and they are always open. :-)

The book has the usual basics re thread, fabric, machines, needles, tools, stabilizers and construction which I just skim over nowadays, but then you get to the Techniques! Ribbon Illusions, Sheer Stitching, Applique and Embroider! Good instructions, easy to follow. Well worth the $5.99.
