New Book from one of Our Own KY-TN Region SAQA Members:

I put out a call for what you all are doing, even asking about books and articles you may have written, and Kathy Loomis wrote me back, "Well I have a book!" I was so thrilled! Kathy is always busy and does fantastic work. This is a breakout book that takes us away from the bondage of a traditional pattern and lets us work pattern free. Here is some information about it from Amazon's createspace and also a link to purchase it if you are interested.
