Connecting Threads also have a 'Look inside' on this. Amazon don't even
have a picture of the front cover. However Connecting Threads don't ship
overseas, so I will 'Amazon' on Monday as DS has promised me an Amazon
Gift Voucher for my Birthday! £13.76 with free delivery here ($22). I do
like Amazon tokens and this looks a perfect need/buy at the moment as
I'm having a bit of a blitz on UFOs that are just waiting quilting! Just
wish I was a few days older and I would order it NOW, but will contain
myself and plod on with the boring walking foot stuff!

Those table runners are just beautiful. But scrolling down to see your
Baltimore quilt just blew my mind. Did it take less than a decade to do
that????

I'm a fast finisher! I appliquéd the blocks while watching TV in the
evenings with DH, but it did take a couple of weeks to do the machine
quilting. There was lots of thinking and planning in that one! I usually
place the quilt top on a bed in the spare room, and spend a few minutes
every day, contemplating the quilting pattern. When it finally comes to me,
it usually goes pretty quickly.....

Thanks. I find it difficult to just give a purchased item, without adding a
little something "home made"
