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.

HI Anne, Indeed would love to visit into your living room library. Surely would love to proud owner of one of your give-aways. Indeed I just love a bookstore and never mind losing time there, just lock me up for the overnight.
I have embroidery books, crewel books, crochet, knitting, rug braiding books, quilt books of course, and all the other “hand do” books. Also furniture refinishing, decorating and on and on, appears i love books too, huh!
Just finished reading “The Sons of Fortune,” by Jeffrey Archer. An old one I agree it is , however the best I have read in a long time. He is a great writer and this should be one up your alley. Let us know if you enjoyed it or have read it. I see he another one in bkstores now.
chelsea is adorable.

Like Chelsea, I also love to read books about Christmas decorating. I’m enjoying Moda’s Sweet Celebrations book ~ so many fabulous projects ~ and also a summer beach read, Sea Glass Island by Sherryl Woods. Love your Living Room Library. :)
