About this title

Review:

Sep 05 Although this is not a new book, with Christmas coming how can we fail to find inspiration from Gail's book. It is packed with Christmas ideas, with the usual high standard of instructions, photographs and templates. I love the idea of using all those shiny, glitzy metallic fabrics that we can't resist buying * THE QUILTING WEB *
