Unfortunately I missed out on a live workshop with Ruth and sent my best buddy in my place instead. She LOVED it!!!

If you don't love hand work, it's a zero.             Peeled-back Patchwork Curves Without Piecing4 reviews Annette Ornelas American Quilter's Society, 2004 Peeled back patchwork Curves without piecing Wonderful book, it was recommended by a friend.
