  1. Just thought I would drop a note; my DD and I went to a library book sale (to buy used books)in Salt Lake City today... to my surprise and excitement I found a copy of Sandra Betzina's book "Power Sewing". I paid $1 for it! Can't wait to jump into reading it. I felt like a little kid; I even glanced over my shoulder thinking someone else would try to take it away! Just wanted to share.

  2. I'm a new reader!
    So glad you posted this. My sewing room had recent water damage and I need to replace a number of books. This will help me get started!
