See what your local library has (look in art instruction, too) and what you might borrow from fellow quilters.

I've requested this from the library. Thanks.

If you had to pick one book, which would it be? I can't seem to find any of her books in any Ohio library.

Interesting. I do have developing cataracts that aren't 'ripe' enough for surgery. I wish they were, since I would benefit from a glaucoma surgery that insurance will only pay for if it's done at the same time as cataract surgery.
