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.

    If I could talk my husband into it, I’d put bookshelves in every room. I finally made a spreadsheet of all the books I own. I add new books as I buy them and mark if I’ve read them, if they’re hardcover, paperback or ebook. I have a Nook that I bring when I travel as I often read a couple of books a week. On plane trips when I can’t have my Nook on, I bring quilt magazines.
    Currently I’m reading some old Ellory Queen short story magazines I found in a box.
    I have the Quilts!Quilts!Quilts book too. It taught me a lot of techniques.

    I love books too! All kinds…quilt books, cookbooks, fiction, etc. I love Simplify by Camille Rosekelley. Ordered recently Foolproof Machine Quilting to help with my finish. I am new at this. I love your livingroom/library.
