Helpful Score: 1


I'm no expert, but this seems to be a great book for beginners and those with some experience. It's a 2011 edition so it's up-to-date. It's also enjoyable reading. I'm going to keep my copy for future reference.

This is one of my favorite quilt books ever! In fact, this is my second copy because I wanted one to loan to friends when they see the quilts I've designed using this technique. This book was re-issued in 1998 under the title, "Design Your Own Quilts". You won't be disappointed in this one!


Tears of the Giraffe (No 1 Ladies Detective agency, Bk 2) (Audio CD) (Unbridged)
Review Date: 5/16/2009
Helpful Score: 1


This delightful story continues the adventures of Mma Ramotswe and her No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. I love this series and I especially enjoy listening to the CDs because the reader, Lisette Lecat, is absolutely perfect. Sometimes a bad reader can ruin a book for me, but Lecat enhances this one IMHO. Enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I have all of Margaret Maron's books, particularly the Judge Deborah Knott series of which this is a part. In this case, Judge Knott travels to the real North Carolina pottery-making community of Seagrove. Her job is to oversee the equitable distribution of marital property. The marriage of two successful potters has come to a bitter end after 25 years. Murder ensues. BTW, some of the minor characters are actual well-known NC potters. Each chapter starts with a quote from one a several books on Seagrove pottery. Besides providing an excellent mystery read, I felt like I learned a lot about pottery. In fact, this book inspired me to start collecting NC pottery. In particular, it inspired the selection of the first piece in my collection: a Chinese Red Egg Vase made by Ben Owen III. Enjoy!


Where the Old Roads Go: Driving the First Federal Highways of the Northeast
Review Date: 7/13/2007


From the back cover:
Recapturing the Romance of the Road
Where the Old Roads go is a nostalgic look at the first federal highways in the Northeast - where they go, how they got there, and what remains of their past - as well of a practical guidebook to the gems along the way.

George Cantor followed each of the original federal highways from Maine to New York, capturing the natural beauty, the histoy, the people, and the romance of the road in his book. Here you can visit with him the Presidential Range and the Finger Lakes, revolutionary war heroes and traitors, writers and artists. Cantor reveals the treasures these roads hide from drivers who stick to the interstate.
