That is a question that my daughter always asks as I am looking at anything to add to my library and stash. "Do you Love it?"----and since I am a sucker for books and packets of all quilting types I usually say "Why yes I do love it". Your designs are to LOVE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397321427108677607.post-4764610879192794122012-03-05T13:24:50.656-06:002012-03-05T13:24:50.656-06:00I am a sucker for buying books!

I have to like several of the projects. If I like a pattern, I will snatch it up without thinking. As I was typing this I remembered that I bought a small pattern the last time I was at my favorite quilt shop and I do not know where it is! I just got up and looked and I guess I put it in one of those special hiding places. It will show up sometime.Diane Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562656263933779406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397321427108677607.post-72366276168405029222012-03-04T08:50:29.156-06:002012-03-04T08:50:29.156-06:00I usually buy books, but, if a single pattern catc...I usually buy books, but, if a single pattern catches my eye and I really want to make it, I'll buy the single pattern.

Right now a friend & I are using many different KT prints to make a Kim Diehl pattern called Duck Duck Goose. The fabrics are ones I've collected through the years along with some of the most current ones. I'd love to use some of your new group Sandhill Plums. That would top it off!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137972408175168474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397321427108677607.post-68842428824399382672012-03-04T06:34:04.010-06:002012-03-04T06:34:04.010-06:00Thanks for the opportunity to win a roll of Sandhi...Thanks for the opportunity to win a roll of Sandhill Plums and the pattern. I purchase both, books and patterns. If there are at least 2-3 patterns in a book that I will use, I will buy the book because I think it's a better bargain. If I see a pattern that I just can't live without, I'll buy that also. When I'm down, just looking at my books and patterns picks me up and inspires me to either start a new project or work on an UFO. KT is my favorite line of fabric - it's warm and inviting! I just bought some of the Sandhill Plums line yesterday.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397321427108677607.post-28624039388391629392012-03-03T22:25:54.194-06:002012-03-03T22:25:54.194-06:00To be honest, I don't often by books, and some...To be honest, I don't often by books, and sometimes will buy the pattern of a quilt I HAVE to make.
