i recently finished both 'the quilt that walked to golden' (meaning colorado) by sandra dallas and 'hidden in plain view' by jacqueline l. tobin and raymond g. dobard. the first is an interesting historical study of the travels of quiltmakers, quilts and the values thereof from the early 1800's until now, and the second one is about the civil war and the quilts that were used as messages for the underground railroad.
i'm in the middle of wrapping the second 2 for trupeach1 right now. keep your pants on, trupeach!!

Thanks for the link SarahBelle, what a cool cover, I want one! the first time I saw the Kindle and told the Dearly Beloved I HAD to have it, no arguments. The man is smart, he never comes between a woman and her books, quilts or cats! The only thing I don't like about the Kindle is that I no longer have books to trade with my friends! Meredith
