Have I mentioned before how much I love our town's library? Well, I really, really do. And one of the things I really love about it is the library's semi-annual book sales. A few times a year, our library has a HUGE sale. People donate books and the library clears from it's shelves books that haven't been borrowed for a while or are damaged. Most of the books cost three or four dollars and some of the children's books are as low as fifty cents! It is a book lover's dream! At a recent book sale, I picked up this gem:
The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini. It is a fun, somewhat fluffy little book about a woman who moves to a new town and becomes friends with an elderly quilt superstar. I wouldn't say that the writing is the very best, but it was still fun to read. I also discovered that it is part of a series, so I have the next one reserved at the library. I'm looking forward to reading it. I made one quilt years ago for a friend's baby and it was adorable! I am currently working on a dinosaur quilt for my son who will probably be too old for dinosaurs by the time I finish it. Then I will move on to the angel quilt that I started for my daughter. Reading this book makes me want to create something really beautiful.
