My latest book selections are The Yellow House, set in Ireland around World War 1, and When We Were Strangers, another historical novel, this time in 19th century America about an Italian immigrant making a new life for herself as a seamstress. I wish I could read and sew at the same time, but I would need two heads, four hands and four eyeballs. Not cute.
Look like good books. Are they current releases available at Barnes & Noble now?
ReplyDeleteLovely stars! And loving that hand stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou can get these books on cd, thats what I hear when I quilt a quilt, then you can listen to the story while you sew.
ReplyDeleteYour star is beautiful! I like the colours!
