A great idea and Nina, as long as I can listen and quilt at the same time. Looking forward to the selections.

Elizabeth, the first title is available on Audible!!

Still finding this site very frustrating but just wanted to say I have read The Last Runaway and found it a good read. Not saying much else as don’t want to spoil it for others and also think I am supposed to put my review elsewhere if only I could work out how todo it

Lovely to hear more about you, and thanks for linking to my blog post. Crafting and being creative really is a great relaxation and a lovely counter to the formality (and often stress) of the working day.

Brilliant! Will be ordering loads for my leftie friends (but I guess they are a one day special)

Nice Lighthouses, match the one in my Bathroom.

Thanks X

Wishing you and your family every success. Exciting and perhaps daunting times ahead but I am sure you will conquer all.

Hello Scott Fortunoff & SO lovely to see you here …..I heard about the Free Spirit situation from a dear friend Philp Jacobs … (Kaffe Fasset Collection & Snow Leopard)….but 2 days before that even happened, I had spotted an out of print v rare book on my huge bookshelf …. All about Caucasian Rugs, … lots of great pictures & amazing history .. (Philip had just bought an antique one), but some serious Academic stuff in there too…. I have hundreds of design inspiration books, I used to just design embroidery not textiles … now I just do patchwork wonderfully and quilt somewhat badly …. BUT thought …..I don’t need that book anymore, so sent it to my friend as a present, because he would appreciate it and love it! It arrived a day after the announcement by Free Spirit…. I know it lifted his spirits as a Crazy Random Act of Kindness, while things were uncertain …..I didn’t know why I did it …. just thought a friend needed that book more than me …… BUT what you and your family is now doing is awesome! There is so much talent there in the whole Free Spirit Family ….. Just don’t ever forget the “Back Catalogue” …… Sort out the NOW & immediate future….. THEN talk to ALL your designers about what would sell and sell & sell again … (It will!) ….. Yes a deal of a lifetime, but ref your new family of designers …. ALL of them are awesome!
