More postal excitement

The rest of the books I splurged on last week have arrived. They include the QN book, which I was planning to buy at Festival of Quilts next month -- but ordering it early means there will be one less thing to carry home at the end of the day -I had to open the QN book several times (at random) until it opened to a pleasing spread -
and another -
"Pleasing" is of course a very subjective word. At the moment I'm pleased by abstraction - sparse pattern - monochrome, so the complicated, colourful work will need closer examination and thinking about.

I have a small library of the QN books and return to them again and again. There is much in them that continues to be fresh and engaging.
