I have 2-3 Carol Doak'S books. All used and bought very cheap. Keep an eye out at thrift stores where they sell yard, crochet stuff, etc. Very good deals there. Got a Patrick Lose book for $2.00.
Our Long Beach quilting guild was going to have Carol as a speaker and do a workshop but I understand that the current increases in airfare, baggage charges, etc.,(she lives on the east coast)became so outstanding that we have had to cancel her. Bummer!!! I had signed up for that class.
To the gal in So California--do try and hook up with a quilting guild. I belong to two: one in Long Beach, CA and Orange Grove in Garden Grove, CA (Orange County). these guilds are a gold mine of inspiration and freely given talent. Well you pay for a orkshop but if you have a question the knowledge is always there and given freely by someone who has "been there, done that."
