Personally I would love to have this book because I'm an avid collector craft books and I enjoy anything with great pictures and this has plenty...plus if Kayte was willing to put her John Hancock on it, it would be EXTRA special!!! (Nevermind the fact I don't sew, there's always fabric glue, lol.)

Who's that little girl? Well that's my little girl at the Handmade Cavalcade two weekends ago in Beacon, NY. Even though she's only six, she's already displaying artistic talent. She has a series of bright girls she forever sketching. Her future career goal is to be an art teacher so she can make art like her mommy and all the people she sells with. (AWWWW, how can I not love her?)
Messy work but came out pretty decent for a first try.
