UKQU BOOK CLUB 8 years, 2 months agoI have made a start, and having just checked one of the Quilt Patterns mentioned I am surprised how it has lasted the test of time, and been reinterpreted in modern day patterns too. the Star of Bethlehem is one I had not heard about previously, but with so many patterns that doesn’t surprise me one bit. The book, I am finding, is engrossing and…[Read more]

UKQU BOOK CLUB 8 years, 2 months agoJust realised how to do this … and we only went and created the website didnt we! hehe.

UKQU BOOK CLUB 8 years, 2 months agoFor me it would be option 1 which would encourage me to read more if theres a deadline. I wonder, does it have to be the whole book at once, or perhaps a chapter a given time period .. discuss, explore the plot and ideas and then continue?
