New Books


While checking out the local quilt shops here in CO. I found some interesting books. Now I need another quilt book like a hole in the head, but I can't resist them. I'm really excited about the new techniques each these books demonstrate. The Shifting Perspectives really peaked my curiosity I almost have a block design in mind to do with this technique.

The Beyond the Block has a design in it I want to use for my Boo DJ Swap blocks. That one has really taken over in my mind and I have all the fabric for that one, so I just might have to move that up my list of things to do soon. This will be a more interesting quilt then the off center blocks I was thinking of doing. Plus it will allow me to use a larger variety of fabric and I have a lot fabric set aside for this project.

The Miniatures in Minutes looks interesting also but doesn't grab me like the Beyond the Block. So I will have to wait and see which one wins out but for now my bet is on the Beyond the Block book.

Tissue Alert!!


I love reading and I want to recommend a very good book called Love Mercy by Earlene Fowler. You might know her as the author of the Benni Harper Mystery Series. Love Mercy is not like the mysteries at all. It is about families and friends and doing the right thing. I would recommend it, but be aware it is a tear jerker so have tissues ready. I picked up from the library yesterday and finished today. I'm home sick so I read and checked a little email, the extent of my activity for today. If you do read it I would like to know if you liked it.
