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.
So personally, I would like to have a book recommended and read a chapter at a time .. and discuss the plot lines and characters. I am a lazy reader and often skim over important elements. This way would concentrate me more. Then a forum for the…[Read more] -

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?

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!
