Quilter's Review Sampler
August 2, 2004

Piecing It All Together

The dog days of summer are fast approaching, which has almost nothing to do with one of the books Sophie reviews this week, Dog Cabin And Others, except for the word "dog." Oh, well...what can I say? My brain's on vacation.

Sophie also reviews Joan Hanson's update of her classic Sensational Settings, a well-worn copy of which should be on every quilter's bookshelf.

This week's product review looks at the Custom Quilt Label Kit from Hewlett-Packard. (That's right, the famous printer people!) This software has turned my world upside down, as you'll read in the review.

I'll be back in your inbox on August 16th.

'Til then, quilt up a storm!

P.S. Thinking about a new sewing machine? Save a bunch of time, money, and frustration!
