The books are still elusive. I went online to see if our library system owns them, and they don't. I'm tryng to hold off buying them again, so I ordered a different book on Amazon.. I'm convinced that I left them at my brother's house a while ago, but my sister in law hasn't seen them.. I will be organizing my fabric today, as I hit a tag sale on Sun, and everything is sitting on the table.. I will try to clean a little with an incentive of finding the books..
