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.

We have so many of the same books..must have started quilting about the same time. I’m reading A Single Thread by Marie Bostwick..involves a quilt shop of course. I do a lot of hand embroidery and love it…I’ve never seen the book you’re offering to give away, would be thrilled to win. Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration! A faithful follower..piecefully yours.

I love your library. I wish I could do the same to my living room. It truly is amazing how most everyone referred to Quilts, Quilts, Quilts. I got the pattern to my first quilt from it – the heart quilt. Then later I made the Gingerbread House quilt. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoy a good book too. I kind of chuckled because in the last pic Chelsea looks like myself when I start reading, a little bleary eyed and sleepy. Your library is lovely.
