Well everyone I am back after a really long day (its 6.30pm here in the UK)
I looked at all the books and couldnt find any of the recommended ones
so I didnt bother to get any as I will try the bookshop for those recommended
but as I was unpacking the shopping I did find some rather stunning fat quarters (I wonder how they found their way here :lol: )
some quilting safety pins a big 24 x 6 quilting ruler, a purple marking pen some beautiful threads some are metalics some silk and others rayon so some lovely threads that I am sure I can put to good use
and last but not least to come out of the car was my birthday present
while I was off helping my friend run her stall my DH went and bought me an embroidery machine and three quilting books - please remember girls he knows nothing about sewing let alone quilting but he does know of my love for books
he bought three very very different kinds of books (he knows about Shellys wonderful offer for lessons)
he bought be
stack a new deck by Karla Alexander reversible quilts by sharon pederson
and 5,500 quilt block designs by maggie malone
now they may not be the best choices in the world but I do have a wonderful wonderful husband who encourages my artistic yearnings each book he chose is very different
