Shownotes for episode 19 - the luscious books...

These are the books are I reviewed during the latest podcast - NOTE: ALL IMAGES PROVIDED BY pomadour24 - THIS IS THE ETSY SELLER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THESE BOOKS. (Thanks).

THIS is my favorite, combining wool with cotton and embroidery to create delicious designs... ISBN978-4-529-04476-9

This is another embroidery book from Japan about Scandanavia .. interesting, no? ISBN4-8347-2480-8


The teacups and coffee cups I salivated over...






This is the first book I discussed that relates to quilting! I LOVE the fabric choices in this book - just wish they were full size patterns, or can with a CD so we can print them out.. but alas, back to the photo copy machine ... ISBN4-579-11078-1






Here is another embroidery book - mmmm --- SMALL EMBROIDERY DESIGNS for KIDS
ISBN978-4-277-31164-9

Oh boy oh boy - It's BOM season!

OK - I KNOW I have enough Block of the Month programs going on right now - but perhaps a few of you might be interested in seeing the latest ones that are available here:

Block of the Month Programs

Several are quite appealing!

Alive and kicking and still fighting the war...

Spent the last 5 days in Athens, Oh, our new 'home town'.  It's so beautiful and friendly - can't wait to go:)  We put an offer on a house!

Still going back and forth with the details, but it's looking good!

And yes, I will have a sewing room - but it will have to be in the basement (which is fine by me) and it will need to be 'designed' - boo hoo (not!)

And I have been working on some blocks, I think.

I HAVE made some CW blocks, but have yet to take the pictures, whoops!

AND you just have to check out this fabric, prairie paisley... I'm in love!

PODCAST THIS WEEKEND, I PROMISE!!

No podcast - but some goodness at least

Sorry no podcast this weekend, I have been a crazy lady trying to go through all our stuff (ok I started with MY craft stuff) but it's taking forever and then the babies nap (which is very good) but they use the ipod to listen to stimulating music (??) on the ipod I use to record... so no luck Charlie.

My first foray into the world of Flickr mosaics.  These are currently in my favorites and aren't they just awesome? 

I can't make the @#$@#$$@#  stupid underlining stop!!

1. green rabbit and carrot - pincushion, 2. Russian Doll Cushion, 3. 4.5 inch owl prototype, 4. blue ninepatch baby quilt full view, 5. retro 50s doll quilt, 6. stichettes-1, 7. ami_bird03, 8. hexapplique-1, 9. Ocean Wall Hanging - crab!

Has anyone seen this new book? Opinions?

OK - I am dying to buy this book, but I really want to know if other's have enjoyed it first...
