you know my rule about quilting books...if it doesn't fit on the shelf, out it goes. fortunately, there was a smidgen of room left for these great used books i got at the library sale yesterday for seriously el cheapo prices. there were plenty more, but they were thicker hard covers and i knew there wasn't enough room, so they got left behind. there are a couple of new books i would like, but won't pay full retail and not sure i'd use them enough to warrant that anyway. they are too new to be found used, so i'll wait and in the interim, might change my mind. ***** yesterday sewed some rows together on the amish scrappy and on the red/cream northwind as well. could be these 2 flimsies will be ready to baste at the same time. the boston commons and christmas ribbons are ready to baste, plus a stack of small pieces, so one of these days it's going to be a big basting party. then i can get back to quilting the amish center diamond; my fingers are itching to do just that. ***** hard to believe thanksgiving is a just over a month away. i have started my christmas shopping, though; just a few gifts for my immediate family. first up, though is celebrating the birthday of my dear aunt who will be 91 next tuesday!
Looks like you had your Christmas. What a haul! I'm only familiar with one of these books--and I have a similar rule for my quilt books. There is designated shelf space and they have to fit within those limits. It has worked for over 7 years, but I have had to give up a lot of books as new "favorites" have come along. Wonder how long I will be able to stick to it? : )
