Default WOOHOOO! Patti's book!!

Oh Joan. I'm so very pleased that you like it so much.
The writing and doing of it were definitely a labour of love - it was
only the publishing year that turned it sour (now I see that is going to
be a temporary feeling!). The feeling of 'regret that I ever started
it' has now completely gone; just a few 'shadows' left.
Do let me know which one you choose! and let me have a picture for my
gallery - cyber and physical.
Have fun.

hi Pat,
finally we got to the Post Office to collect The Book - coming back
home on the bus I only just restrained myself from peeping! Got home,
cup of coffee, sit down at the table, open parcel, and wowee! What an
absolute delight! You should have a medal for layout, another from
the Plain English Society and another from The Quilters Guild for
execution. It can't be faulted on any grounds whatsoever. Now to
decide which one to make my life's work. It's going with me today to
my Thursday afternoon group, they can all marvel at it too!

Thanks for brightening up our lives

Pat, I curled up in bed last night with your book, and I can't say
enough good things about it! It's *so* clearly written, and the
illustrations are just wonderful. On top of that, you've even provided
suggested quilting motifs for people who always have trouble with that
aspect -- it's just terrific!

I have a meeting of my local group in just a little while (an all-day
fun thing), and I'm not only taking my laptop with the little slideshow
I prepared of the Houston quilts, but I'm also taking your book with me.
I think I'll leave the inserts home, though, just to be on the safe
side.

Patti, could you send me details how to purchase, my email is annekh23at
yahoo dot co dot uk.

I saw the pictures of some of your quilts on the website and they are
gorgeous, I'm a mathematician myself and if I had 20 years more quilting
experience, it's the kind of book I could imagine writing myself.

Did you self publish, or did you have a publisher?

Cheers
Anne

Anne-

The book is sooooo beautifully written and wonderfully organized that any
quilter with a good background in the basics could make any one of the
quilts with ease! I promise you/anybody with some time and a little
concentration all of Pat's gorgeous quilts are very, very doable. It's a
marvelous book and Pat did a fantastic job! And you'll love the technical
descriptions of the quilts- which are something us non-mathematicians can
just lightly skim over- appreciating the thought but not much understanding
the theory. ;-)

Do whatever you can to lay your hands on a copy!!

I hunted it down online! Don't know if Patti would prefer you order
it through her, but here is one option:
http://www.tarquinbooks.com/default.... &category=all
This address might go to my husband as a Christmas gift hint.
Congratulations Patti!
