Betsy & I used to work together at Lone Star House of Quilts; she stayed (for a while she owned the shop). Today they had a party to introduce the book; it's awesome! If you get a chance to get your hands on this one, go for it. There's a great story to go along w/ the quilts & patterns. Very well done. They're folksy & traditional quilts. But I can see doing these in some "contemporary" fabrics: yum!
