Bouts of Books Day 4 Update...

I read 100 pages yesterday of the Healing Quilt by Wanda Brunstetter, this is the last book in the series. I will end up giving my review tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a great reading week!

Bout of Books 19 Day Two...

I didn't get as much completed only 35 pages of the Healing Quilt, but I am almost halfway done. I think in another day or two I might be done. Then I plan on reading some of the smaller books, so I hope to get 3 read. The challenge for yesterday was to photo a book that did not have a regular font, sadly I do not have any books that meet the requirement. It was interesting though to use what titles looked like without a regular font.

New Books

I ended up getting this books over the weekend. I have previously read the Half-Stitched quilt books in the series and thought they were ok. The Oregon Trail book sounds interesting in that the author bought mules and a covered wagon and retraced the Trail. I only know a few things about Benjamin Franklin, and thought this book looked interesting. In regards to Jo's Boys I need to read the previous books but you don't hear about this and Little Men as much as Little Women. I find sometimes that famous authors have other books that are really good but for some reason they don't get the attention, hopefully when I get to read these that will be the case. Have you read any of these books?

Here are some books that I recently purchase and can't wait to read!

Retreat....

I had a fantastic time at the retreat, it will definately be on the list for next year. I was not able to accomplish as many of my own projects I wanted to do, but was able to get a lot of the monthly block exchanges done. I hope to complete more of them tomorrow at a monthly quilting bee.  I was able to challenge myself and learned a few techniques that I had never done before. I will either make another video or post pics later.

I have yet to decide about the book giveaway, but will try to make a decision soon. Speaking of books, I recently borrowed the book The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda Brunstetter from the local library. It is really interesting so far and I am only on the third chapter. Basically, it is about a amish woman that put a ad in the local paper to teach quilting. The characters who will be her students range from a young women, to a couple, and even a male biker.

I still have Tinkerbell to finish for my niece before my deadline that I made of Wednesday.

As it is now the month of May, I need to start my project for 12for2012. It is a cute wall hanging, that will end up being a gift for one of my grandmothers.
