Many many thanks to Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, for the wonderous package I was gifted with. I made myself wait till Christmas eve to open it. Each and every item is lovely and I had to remind my little 7 y/o daughter that she could not make off with fabric all of it was wrapped in. I can

I've lucked into some Christmas gift money and am looking to (finally!) purchase this book. However, given the hefty price tag, I'd like to get some reviews (regrettably, the local textile library doesn't have a copy). Some of my questions: What are its strengths? Weaknesses? Are the writers

Diane, My recipient Kate Soehnlen is still waiting as well - I missed the quick trip to the US! Maybe we can extend it to be a New Year's Gift? I do so love the globalness of all of this that I do not mind the wait! :^ Cheers Aylwen On 27/12/06 5:03 AM, Diane Maynard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
