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.

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.)

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.

Now, what is yours?

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!"

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.
