I just bought and received this book this week (having seen it in another magazine). I did not grow up with Peter Rabbit, et al., but found it for my grandkids and LOVED it. This book is well worth having if you are a Peter Rabbit/Beatrix Potter fan. THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT!!!

Gracious, I think I will have to definitely get this book! Thank you for sharing you quilt and experience in what I consider a very magical part of the world, the World of Beatrix Potter.

Thank you so very much for the opportunity and joy of reading about your quilt, which is amazing, and watching the videos. She has always been a favorite of mine and so I am very pleased to 'see' her history and life. What an honor for you.
