OMG ... You are the Darcy!! Just last month I ordered 3 more of your books (Grandmas Bunnies, Aquatic Creatures, and Beautiful Big Dogs)and you even autographed them! Your appliques are also great for redwork or bluework, which I also love doing. Had previously bought the two Claire's Cats (Vol 1 and 2) books at the quilt show in Madison last year. The books/patterns are fantastic!!
