It is backbreaking work! <br />On a nicer note, I am off to buy the fabrics I still need for my Maple Leaf quilt project on Friday - I was inspired by the community quilt in your book.Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185383497671795758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-62731281717052810752009-06-02T22:59:08.861-04:002009-06-02T22:59:08.861-04:00Almost all the news about publishing is depressing...Almost all the news about publishing is depressing these days, Kay.
