Lucky you! I used to be able to afford books. I miss that luxury, now. I used to order so many, I felt I had to sneak them!!!!

Great choices! If there's anything I love almost as much as fabric itself, it has to be books that contain fabric projects. Happy sewing with your new books!

Sylvia said...

Just wanted to thank you for your blogging tips. I am new to having a blog and they were really helpful. I am going to give the emailing of pictures a try. Thanks.

I love that new book. Browyn has great things. Looks like some neat stitchery in there. Enjoy!! Renee's stuff is awesome and so is she.

Cascade Lily said...

Those books look lovely. Anything with aqua/white/red is a winner in my book!

Also, I got a PDF of my blog from Blog2Print and it was my entire blog. Thanks for the tip-off.

(I couldn't afford the print version - USD$161. The PDF was USD$2.99!!)

Is there an ISBN number for Gifts from the Heart? I have been trying to find a copy online in Australia with no luck. :-(
It looks like the kind of things I love to make!
