A good Book ......

What book?

What makes a good book is different to everyone but for me this one was high on my list when I saw the book block on this quilt.


I am happy with how it has turned out and am really enjoying the needle turn applique for this project ....... I might be converted.  So much so that I think that I need to dig out my "In My Garden" kit and start working on it so I don't get to far ahead on this one.

Enjoy your stitching,
Sharon

Isn't it great to be able to personalise these blocks? I am still considering what book I will pick, , ,
