The Book Man has been to work this week and delivered our book selection for this month. As usual there are plenty of kiddies' books to umm and ahh over, which, of course, I did before having a look at the adult choices. Normally there are a couple (at least) of recipe books, but not today. Instead there is a book on quilting. 50 projects for the home, apparently. Lots of lovely things from various bags to rugs to throws. And there was me thinking that quilting was all about, well, quilts, really.
It got me thinking. I'm getting along a bit better with my sewing machine now. We're still not best friends, don't get me wrong, but we are rubbing along quite nicely. I even managed to repair my hubby's jeans the other day. Could i extend this relationship and have a stab at quilting? Is it really as simple as it looks in this book? Or will it be another book flipped through and then shelved without completing even one of the projects? Bit strapped for cash at the moment, especially with my expanding waistline, but is the £4 they are asking for this book worth the investment?
Think I'll sleep on it!

ooh I've bought so many cook books from the book man! I say, as long as you can find 1 or 2 things in the book that you definitely want to make then go for it. Long live the book man! Anna
if you need any help justifying getting the book,you know where to come!
