primitive ponderings
questions asked by readers, then replied upon in later issues.
i had a request for my tin source, i will put this in issue #9. where do you all get your tin? what size do you get, and how much is it(shipping/tax too). i would like to list some sources for tin....
how do you rust your tin? what is the resulting color? what do you use the tin for? are there any other metals or aging techniques that you use?

book reviews
&
books of interest
while reading 'victoria' magazine for april of 97,i noticed a wonderful article on quilter janet bolton(pp86-89). she works in miniature with small scraps of fabric, and the resulting works are rather primitive and humble. she has a new book that has a garden theme titled "in a patchwork garden" (quilt digest press / available thru ntc contemporary publishing co. (800)323-4900). she was first featured in april 1990 victoria.
