I love using them for backing, that looks great with your quilt. My recommendation for a book is Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shors. It is about the building of the Taj Majal. I read it several years ago, but is one of those books that just lingers in my mind. I think about it alot, about a lot of the themes and characters. I was in a book club, and we read this book. At our meeting, we actually had a phone conference with the author. He took time out of his evening to chat with us, isn't that cool?<br />It is a beautiful book. Oh, and most importantly, I LOVE your blog!!!!Karen Palenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234540913418681567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-27275012696589473482013-08-12T02:06:18.360+01:002013-08-12T02:06:18.360+01:00My favorite fabric shop is Pink Castle Fabrics.

It's wonderful to be able to wrap someone in quilty love. The quilt is beautiful. I love the retro look of it. I just finished reading Flora by Gail Godwin. It's a great coming of age story, and I would recommend anything by this author. My other current recommendation is a great recipe for potato and ham soup: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/delicious-ham-and-potato-soup/. \Thanks for the fun question.

And I love how the pieced border frames the flowers. <br />I'm not sure if you're familiar with Jasper Fforde's books - they are quite funny, a bit crazy, full of wordplays and twists on the well know English literary pieces. I think the Thursday Next series is my favourite. The Eyre Affair is the first one. tusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922105659781202661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-79388924214657028352013-08-11T02:14:49.228+01:002013-08-11T02:14:49.228+01:00Love the quilt.

I love it when giveaways ask for reader recommendations - I always learn about so many new interesting things. If you like discovering new authors/books you should check out Nick Hornby's "Stuff I've Been Reading" column from the Believer magazine (also in book form - The Polysyllabic Spree, More Baths Less Talking, etc). I've picked up several new favorites thanks to him and usually find myself laughing hysterically at some point in every column.

I like to use the Add-A-Quarter, 6" and 12", rulers when sewing. Not only does it help tremendously for paper piecing, but it is essential for me when I make bindings. It is small enough to easily use when trimming off the pieces left over from joining the strips- I just butt it against the stitch lines and cut- so easy:) Thanks for the chance to win:)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344790920367167440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-79374504838991826472013-08-07T22:19:10.181+01:002013-08-07T22:19:10.181+01:00Gorgeous quilt!

And mouth watering food descriptions as well!
