Longarm GIANT novels…the biggest and best in Western adventure! U.S. Marshal Custis Long realizes better than anyone how the newspapers play with the truth. He knows for a fact that Clay Allison’s surly hide was laid under the sod for good. But he can’t prove it. Never exactly an outlaw, Allison was inclined to kill people when he drank—and he drank a lot. But now, tales of Clay Allison keep coming along the news wire out of Texas. Someone who looks, talks, dresses—and kills—like the late shootist is on a murder spree. Longarm can’t believe that a homicidal drunk has come blazing back to life from out of the grave. But he has to look into it—especially since a Texas Ranger has been gunned down. If it turns out that he was wrong about Allison’s demise, Longarm will admit it—and then correct his mistake.

Expanded and completely revised, this book is the perfect companion for longarm, sit-down, or hand quilters to add a simple but beautiful background filler to their quilting repertoire. Dubbed "McTavishing" after its creator, it has become the most popular new design concept in quilting today. As shown in the extensively illustrated projects, McTavishing may be added to any quilt or garment, from wholecloth to contemporary art quilts, and done by hand, domestic machine, or longarm technique. The book's how-to chapters demonstrate the uses of the McTavishing stitch--as an addition to an open quilt block, in a border, to highlight complex applique, to custom tailor a favorite garment, or as part of a larger overall design--while the accompanying DVDs provide lessons from the author. Accompanied by interviews with accomplished hand and domestic machine quilters, this guide offers readers an unparalleled view of the exciting new quilting process. This edition boasts revised how-to chapters, new graphics, new text, and a simpler teaching method. Additional pages feature new quilts and quilters as well as a new section on modern quilting styles.
