Here's the lovely email I just received from a woman who bought my book.
My mother-in-law made the crazy quilt in the photos in the 1920's. My daughter inherited it. It had damage where it had been folded for all those years. Otherwise, it was in pretty good condition. I show the before and after pictures of a pink piece (photos 1 & 2), and the last photo is of the quilt. I used your book to plan and make the repairs. I would not have known where to start otherwise! I used a lightweight silk fabric to make the appliques, and 100 wt silk thread to do the repair. I bought silk organza to cover the binding which was badly worn. We were pleased that the color was so good with the original fabric. Your book addressed all the issues I was working on, so thank you!
It's so gratifying to know that the book is working just the way I intended. Here are her photos. Didn't she do a super great job?!
