Looking to trade for book - not OT

I am looking for "Easy Paper-Pieced Miniatures" by our own Carol Doak. I know this is an out-of-print book, plus this is a long-shot asking to trade for it.



I have fabric, other books, a spoiled husky mix dog, and an even more spoiled husband. Any or all are up for negotiation in this deal. Uh, hmmm, maybe I better keep the dog, she guards my stash [sometimes too well, and grabs scraps!]



If you have this book, and aren't "into" miniatures, please email me to see if we can work out a satisfactory deal.



Thanks in advance, Ginger in CA

Oh my goodness... is it printed on gold leaf? I searched for it in Amazon -- and says you can buy used copies for almost $40!

WOW!!! Must be a great book!

Holy Cow Ginger...... I looked on abe books for you - and they only had 2 copies and they wanted your right arm, your left leg, and your first born male child. I don't have the book - wish I did.... I could plan for my retirement!! Good luck in your quest..........

It is still on her site. She did say on her Yahoo forum that she still has some out of print books at home.

I have seven of her books, but not that one. But, Ginger, Carol did say she still had some she's willing to sell. :)

Hey Polly -

OR, you could work with someone who has gotten lessons from Carol...hmmm, wonder if I could brave the gators to come down!??! Where are you (my brain forgets these things!)?

One of my good friends (she brought me corn today!) absolutely could not paper piece. Just didn't get it, couldn't do it. Has quilted for years, churns out dozens of quilts a year.

Talked her into yet another paper piece workshop. Betty Lenz' Scrap Apple Quilt. Nothing difficult, just a log cabin-ish block with rectangular pieces and a little appliqué.

My friend finished it right away. Entered it in one of the county fair's quilt show. Got a Reserve Champion! She was shocked!

Don't know if she'll ever do another one, but that one's a keeper for sure.
