arc book review

Astonishing but one never stops learning no matter how long you have been sewing. I was hoping that this book would contain some new projects so I could use up some of the scraps floating around my house! The introductory portion suggests tools that are not only useful but are pretty easy to find online. There’s no need to buy everything right away but I always appreciate advice from another source. The projects are much more than I have ever attempted yet they do not seem out of the ordinary for those who have dabbled in quilting. Look forward to seeing my scraps turn into something useful.
