However, I'm babysitting the kids to help her out. By the time I have some time to myself I just feel like sitting and reading! I want to quilt but just am not motivated.
Maybe enjoying quilting through books would be a good idea. I saw someone else's post mention that idea. There is a book series with a quilting theme running through them set in the Shenandoah Mountains. Some quilting friends I met at a retreat had mentioned them to me so I bought some of them the last time I was there. Two are by Emilie Richards..."Touching Stars" and "Sister's Choice". They are hard back. Another book, a paperback, I picked up is called "The Quilting Circle" and is a collection of short stories about quilting by 4 different authors. Lastly, "The Circle of Quilters" by Jennifer Chiaverini also paperback. I bought them new, read them once each but, doubt I will read them again. They are yours if you would like them. I would be happy to send them to you knowing they would go to someone who would enjoy them. Not sure how to get your address but, I guess that is a detail we figure out.
