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.

ReplyDeleteSo 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!
