Summer Reading

Beautiful sunny day today with more sun for the weekend, I plan to work outside some of this weekend.

I stopped by the local quilt shop, which is dangerously close to my house, to check out the sale fabrics. I know that I already have quite a stash, but it is always fun to add more! Here are the two pieces that I found.






























Here are some books from the local used book store that I added to my library, I love to have a stack to choose from since I never know what I will be in the mood to read. It is always fun looking around wondering what I will find and I was excited to find one of the Elm Creek Quilter series that I had not read! Where do you like to get your books from?

Well gotta go, I need to work on fixing block 1 from Civil War Tribute BOM, I have been struggling with this one and I am determined to get it done right before I work on block 4 & 5. I will be attending the Civil War Tribute BOM monthly group meeting tomorrow at the local quilt shop and hope to share a completed block! The leader of the group always bakes a goodie from the Civil War time period and we discuss the next block as well as the history associated with the upcoming block. It's a nice time visiting with other quilters and of course a chance to oogle the fabric! Have a great weekend.

  1. Two of my most favorite things: book shopping and fabric shopping! I love library book sales.

  2. I love the colors in the two pieces of fabric. I get most of my books from Goodwill or yard/garage sales. I have several of Wanda Brunstetters books. I've never read books by Lori Wick but am going to watch for them.
