Table Talk# 19400
For Gudrun Erla, gathering at the dinner table brings back special memories of friends and family in her native Iceland. These memories are the inspiration for her first Kansas City Star quilt book, "Table Talk." Included are 16 projects designed to grace your table and Gudrun's family recipes to share with yours. Six pieced projects can be done with simple sewing room staples. There are four quilt-as-you-go projects - excellent "quickies" to whip up for friends and family. There's also a collection of holiday projects, like the festive "Wrap It Up" runner, and three projects made from fabric leftovers, along with creative recipes for those dinner leftovers. It's all there to enjoy ... at the table.

Happy Birthday Kansas# 19351
Just in time for the 2011 Kansas Sesquicentennial, quilt artist Linda Frost presents a 14-block sampler that celebrates the wonders and quirks of her native Kansas. The blocks represent familiar themes for any fan of the prairie – wind, wheat, tornadoes, road signs that make you feel like you’re on the road to nowhere... Linda’s designs convey a sense of the pioneer spirit along with the good natured humor that is part of life in the Midwest.
