In an old issue of Australian Patchwork & Quilting, I saw a few small pictures of some of the Lucy Boston patchworks and was fascinated by them. I wanted to see more. At that time, I started trying to find a copy of this book. It was out of print and the few copies I found for sale were very, very expensive. It has been reprinted and is now available here and here. My copy will be arriving sometime this week and I can’t wait!!
All it did all weekend long was rain, rain and more rain. While it appeared as though today might be sunny, now it’s clouding over again and I think more rain may be on the way. Still no real summer heat. There’s a bit of improvement as far as my hands/wrists are concerned, but I’m avoiding the iron and rotary cutter for a few more days.
During one of the few times during the weekend that it wasn’t pouring down, I got this shot of Lester at the window.
And this one of Smudge.

I'm always glad to find reprints on books that were great but hard to find.Lester looks mighty handsome in that picture.

Your rain in Toronto this weekend messed up my nap in Texas. I like to put on the golf tournament because the monotone voices put me to sleep. Because of the rain the tournament was delayed, delayed and delayed. I never got my nap!You will love the book. I have an old autographed copy.
