Charlotte Yde's books
Someone just posted a link to Charlotte Yde's homepage, and I went to
have a look. I did see this before, but didn't notice her book page. Lo and behold, there was the Contemporary Quilts from Scandinavia, which I saw at a Quilt Festival and didn't get before someone else did (grrr). A couple of emails later and she is mailing that one + a patchwork book which is sold out from the publisher to me via my parents (who live in Denmark too). She was very kind and even offered to put a greeting in the books. Yes, ok, sending book packages across the Atlantic might not be the cheapest past time in the world, but I _so_ wanted the show book, and I have been looking for a while for a Danish patchwork/quilting book, since I feel somewhat silly not having a clue what the various terms are in my own language :-) I don't know what I expected, but probably something like: she must get loads of emails from beginner quilters who do not have a clue and why should she care as long as she gets to sell the book. WRONG! She is really nice, even went to my webpage and had a look around. I like (some) traditional (American) patterns, but I'm leaning more towards the non-block styles. Hmm, actually I'm thinking that at the same time as I'm planning speed-pieced and template type quilts for the next few monthsand a Dear Jane for the far out future. What is to become of me??? Thanks to whoever posted that link :-) Hanne |

Thanks to whoever posted that link :-) No problem! I enjoyed looking at her quilts this morning - very inspiring.
