I'd love it if Alex Anderson decided to write a book on common and uncommon quilt mistakes and how to fix them. I wouldn't know how to contact her, but if someone else wanted to find her address and put the idea in her ear, I wouldn't mind. (My Internet and cable capacities are limited. I used to see Simply Quilts years ago. Now I can't get it. Nor do I see youtube videos. It's books or nothing for me.)

Contact her through her publisher, Lia. If you don't have any of her books, a quick check on Amazon or some other bookseller will soon show who her publisher is. C&T keeps ringing in my mind, but I have no real idea if that's right. I'll check for you if you don't have the facility. I do honestly think it's a good idea. . In message , Julia Altshuler writes
Go for it. I won't write the letter, but if you want to forward the idea to her, even take credit for it, go for it. All I want to do is read the book.

Hey, Kate! Did you ever make your chocolate quilt for yourself? It seemed such a lovely idea.

My title: "Eye Candy" The blurb on the back: "No instructions; if you need any new techniques you can probably find them on the internet. Just lots of big glossy pages filled margin-to-margin with high-quality colour photographs of stunning quilts. Each quilt photographed in full laid out flat (don't you hate 'arty' shots of the quilt folded over the arm of a chair or something so you can't see how the whole thing looks?), with detail shots of individual blocks and quilting. Hundreds of quilts! Inspiration galore!"
OK Lia! I searched around and found that it is indeed C&T Publishing who handle Alex's books. So, I sent them an e-mail just now >g< We'll see what happens. I will keep you informed (and everyone!). . In message , Julia Altshuler writes
Cool! Let's see what happens. Since I bop in and out of this group, subscribe and then unsubscribe all the time, contact me at my (unmunged) email address above. Since I get tons of spam and try to delete it without reading, make sure you put "Your Quilting Book" in the subject line. That's a subject line I'll recognize.

Here's another option for contacting Alex. It's an email address I found on her website - I'm not sure how often she checks her email, but I would think it would eventually get to her. snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com
