National Book Lover’s Day!

Finally,  a day for us…the book lovers of the world!   You know who you are!  You get lost in Barnes and Noble and forget the time.  Sometimes you buy a book you can’t resist, only to find out when you get home that you already have it.  You curl up with a good book every chance you get, and I bet you’ve even been known to read while you’re cooking dinner.

I love books so much, I turned our Living Room into a library!  Bookcases line each side of the room, and comfy chairs are tucked into in each corner.

You’ll find everything in my library from the book that started me quilting years ago…

…to the Stitch Zakka book that I have a little project in…

I buy any book published by Country Living…

…and I collect every embroidery book I can find .

I love all of the “Material Obsession” books…

…and books by Harriet Hargrave are the best reference books ever!

Everyone in our family loves books.

Chelsea likes to read about Chihuahuas…

And she also loves books about Christmas Decorating!

She’s trying to understand Crazy Quilting so she studies every book she can find on the subject.   

BOOK LOVERS DAY is sponsored by Moda Fabrics so hop on over to the Moda blog and you can enter to win 6 new books.  You’ll also find links to other Moda designers, talking about books on their blogs!   Then sit back, have a cup of tea and relax for a bit with your favorite book.  Oh, and tell me  what you’re reading now and later today I’ll give away two “Stitch Zakka” books!

It’s a great day when you can read a good book.

    Oh Anne, I love your collection of books. I too have Harriet Hargrave’s reference book. It probably was one of the first books that I could go to & have things explained so clearly.
    Now I am reading & joining the blog hop of Tula Pink’s- 100 Modern Quilt Blocks- City Sampler. Learning & enjoying it so much!

    I am reading a non sewing book currently. Kill me Again by maggie Shayne. But I bought a new quilting book today. More 90- Minute Quilts by Meryl Ann Butler. It looks really good. Ohh I have been wanting a Stitch Zakka book forever. I am gonna cross my fingers & toes on this one. Thank you for the chance to enter.

    I’m currently reading The Art of Hearing Heartbeats. It’s wonderful! And I’ve never met a cookbook/quilt book that I didn’t have to look through for inspiration!
