books

lately I have been considering some new types of posts I could add to the rotation here on the blog - for example today thought I'd share some books currently on my radar:







1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5

{in the spirit of full-disclosure: I've not been contacted by anyone associated with these books nor do I own them - just thought they looked interesting.}

in regard to the new types of posts thing - I'm not planning any kind of revamp of the blog or any kind of schedule. I'm just interested in freshening things up a little bit in terms of content to keep myself & you readers engaged. so I'm curious - would you like to see more posts about stuff like books, photos, crafts/embroidery, etc...that I've found online that I like? or do you have suggestions for types of posts you'd like to see? thanks!

When I started my blog I thought it would be a place where I shared my love of aprons. But after a while, I found that I also wanted to share other sewing and crafts I had made or planned. So I gave myself permission to blog about whatever made me happy.
In my opinion, it's your blog, post about whatever you're interested in. The books you've shown today look like some good inspiration for creating wonderful crafts. Thanks for sharing.

I am always on the lookout for new books (on just about any subject) and things on quilting and embroidery, and your blog never fails to impress me! Thanks!

I have loved your blog for a long time. I am sure that whatever you find interesting; I will as well!

PS - yes! I love to find out a new crafty books!

Yes: I definitely would love to hear about books and other things you've found and liked. You've already been a great source of new (Boo Davis!) and old (make it yourself, betty crocker w/Charlie Harper) books that I've bought and loved. And the craft / sewing category is so huge now that a recommendation from a trusted source that a book is worth a look is...gold.

As for other things: absolutely anything that you're doing / seeing / making / loving that you care to share.

The second and third books look really interesting! I dare not pick up the second one because I finally donated my teeny tiny fabric scraps. Oh, I had grand patchwork plans, but after hoarding piles of coin sized scraps for years I realized they weren't ever coming to fruition.

Hi,
Have added a couple of those books to my book wish list. I really enjoy your embroidery Thursday's and the transfers. I often find myself waiting for thursday to role around for another batch of inspiration. Also find your thrifting adventures facinating.
Thanks for sharing with us.
