One thing I love as much as I love fabric is books. And I have almost as many books as pieces of fabric. The two most dangerous places for me to shop are fabric stores and book stores. So today I had to go to Hancock Fabrics to purchase fabric for a quilt guild program that I'm conducting on Monday. I bought 30 yards of juvenile novelty fabrics, which I have to cut into 1/3 yard lengths to give out at guild. I got half of it cut and got sick of cutting fabric. I'll finish tomorrow.
Of course I couldn't get out of Hancock's without buying some fabric for myself as well. I got several fat quarters in shades of brown and beige for a journal quilt. I also got a piece of pink fleece and some pink baby yard. I'm going to crochet a lace edging onto the fleece for a blanket for Lori's new granddaughter Lily, who is due to make her arrival in May.
Hancock's has a large selection of books and, of course, I just had to stop and look at them. And look what I found.
It's just full of the most colorful quilts made by Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran. I love brightly colored quilts and whimsy, so naturally, I had to buy this book.
Then when I got home and checked the mailbox, look what was waiting for me there from Amazon.com.
I haven't read anything by John Connolly, but I thought this one sounded very interesting. And I can't wait to find out. In fact, I'm about to take Sophie for her last walk of the night, then go to bed and read.
It has been a long day full of shopping and cutting fabric. I'm ready to relax.

Connolly's book is wonderful . . . I gather that his previous work has been mysteries (which I only read once in a blue moon, so I'd never heard of him) and this is his first fantasy novel.
