I have several of her books, with her "Fitting Finesse" as one one my favorites. My husband's great-aunt was an amazing seamstress and I believe I ended up with her copy of "The Busy Woman's Guide" after she died. I need to go pull it off the shelf and add it to my *to read soon* pile by my recliner! Thank you for reminding me of this gem, I'm sure I'll glean several new tips and techniques.Julie Christinehttp://www.wantasew.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-5443105171748121232012-02-05T20:12:18.979-05:002012-02-05T20:12:18.979-05:00I have this book, purchased years ago and have nev...I have this book, purchased years ago and have never cracked it open.

I will have to take it out and reread it because one of the things I loved about her teaching style was that it was so easy to follow and made such sense.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-26274660128330113632012-02-03T10:37:42.343-05:002012-02-03T10:37:42.343-05:00I'm with you, love that book!I'm with you, love that book!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777575604974487034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-19002370180176603732012-02-03T06:39:27.469-05:002012-02-03T06:39:27.469-05:00Hi Bunny!
