AUTHORBIO: Nebraska-born crazyquilt artist Carole Samples taught herself to sew on her grandmother's 1891 treadle machine when she was 12 years old. Her partnership with that tempermental relic resulted in a closet full of cotton dresses and nylon-net petticoats, and fostered an ever-growing appreciation of - and affection for - beautiful textiles. REVIEW: Packs in a treasury of stitches sure to delight those already interested in producing crazy quilts. -The Bookwatch
