DeleteI am sorry for that long link...HOWEVER...if you cut and paste it into your browser you will see you can score a copy of this book (softcover) for as little as $7 (price includes shipping) from a Goodwill store. There are many other reasonably priced copies of it also listed on bookfinder.com.
DeleteLove the textile background...is it an image of the textile or an actual swatch?
ReplyDeleteFrom a book that I own that contains 600+ fabric patterns...they are paper pages! But the reproduction is EXCELLENT. I responded to Fi (above) with a long link that will take you to www.bookfinder.com. You will see many copies for sale.
DeleteThis is a winner collage - Angie! And also me - I like the background.
ReplyDeleteI may have paid a little more (14 bucks), but I just ordered a copy of SWATCHES from one of the used booksellers who deal through Amazon...
