This block is one I designed about 12 years ago for a block-of-the-month program at Patches, Etc, a local shop in St Louis. The quilt was called "Patches of Main" and each block depicted one of the stores in our historic district of St. Charles. We had a cute little book store at the time and so a shelf of books seemed perfect!
I'd been thinking about this block recently with all the wonderful text fabric we have available today and just had to try it updated, bright and happy. My block is called "Read" and is #880.
Wouldn't it look cute on the front of a book bag? Think Summer trips to the library!
My second thought was how adorable it would be in a kid's room - with a very important reminder!
The letters are pieced from a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman - Refrigerator Magnets. They're 3" tall and I added another 2" finished background piece to the top. The borders were cut 4" wide and are wrapped around to the back of the canvas board and stapled in place.
So here's your chance to win a copy of the latest Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. Leave me a comment and I'll choose a winner on Monday. Have you read a good book lately? I'm always looking for an interesting read!!

ReplyDeleteGreat book block and mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteReading these days is not like it used to be as there are so many different ways to "read" a book. I listen to audio books most times because I am usually multi tasking but I still buy physical books. Most recently I listened to The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
I love your block. I don't read a lot of books....the most things I read are quilting magazines, books, and other quilters blogs. My oldest daughter reads a lot....this block would be great on a book bag....I love that idea. Thanks

ReplyDeleteAs to reading - Sir Terry Pratchett writes a wonderful series of fantasy books set on the Discworld, a flat earth on the back of 4 elephants standing on a turtle moving through space, chock full of social commentary (ala Gulliver's Travels). Start with Guards! Guards! or The Wee Free Men. He also co-wrote a great book with Neil Gaiman called Good Omens which is akin to The Omen - except the anti-christ is given to the wrong parents and grows up in the English countryside. Merriment ensues!

ReplyDeleteThis is a fun tour and thank you for entering my name in the drawing. I haven't read many books lately, but I love to read true crime by Anne Rule.

ReplyDeleteLove the block, it would make a fun Ipad cover. I haven't read anything in the last two months as life has kept me to busy and tired at the end of the day.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE to read, but with 2 little ones, at the moment, it's either read or sew.... so...... I try to read in the car while my hubby is driving (you didn't think I'd read while I was driving, did you??) or, sometimes, maybe sneak off with at least a magazine and take a quick peek...my "to read" pile could most likely fall over and kill me! I'll be following the comments here to see what others recommend!
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading since before first grade (my older sister taught me to read some simple little books) and I'm sure I'll continue to love reading til the day I die. I'm going to have to make some wall hangings like yours for all the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteCute block. I just started reading Sue Grafton. I kind of started backwards with W is for ... Now I am going to the first book in the series.
ReplyDeleteI recently finished "Isaac's Storm" by Eric Larsson about the devestating hurricane the destroyed much of Galveston, TX in 1906. It was a fsscinating read. Otherwise, I'm a mystery fan. Have you read Louise Penny? She is terrific.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the Three Sisters Island trilogy by Nora Roberts. About the descendants of three sisters who lived in the time of the Salem Witch Hunts who are trying to keep their Island from sinking into to the sea. Quite a read.

Neat block; would be fun to make it where you picked the fabric to go with the book title, and inked in the book titles.
ReplyDeleteI am reading The Dark Road by Ma Jian. It's about China's one child policy and how it was brutally enforced.
ReplyDeleteLove "Read", and the mini quilt you made. I love to read, and right now I'm reading all of Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason books. I borrow them from the library and some of them are the originals from the 40's and 50's. They are so charming.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Gregg Allman's My Cross to Bear. This is an excellent book with lots of interesting reading! I am a huge Allman Brothers Band fan and am really enjoying this book!

ReplyDeleteGreat way to incorporate the popular text fabrics...and a great way to display the block!
ReplyDeleteI just read "Every Last One" by Anna Quindlen, which is a beautiful book--but be prepared to have your heart wrenched. And I am re-reading Louise Penny's mystery series in advance of the newest book being released. These books are so good that there is always more to discover in them.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for the book fabrics I have. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe case of the bouncing grandma. It's a good cozy mystery and funny.

Cute block! Somehow I missed that BOM at Patches. It must have been before I started. I still have blocks from the 3 BOMs I did as loose blocks. Need to get them in to tops ASAP! :)
ReplyDeleteSandy A.
I love to read and have since childhood, so this block was of interest to me. I am currently reading Mercy by Jodi Picoult about a mercy killing. Recently finished The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks.
ReplyDeleteI just read a book called "The Witness Wore Red". It sounds like a murder mystery, but it is a real life story of a woman who broke free from a cult. Really interesting!
ReplyDeleteNice block. I have several books going right now: in print - Steeped in Evil (A Tea Shop Mystery) by Laura Childs; on MP3 for use while exercising - Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evanovich; & on CD for use while sewing - Frozen Heat by Richard Castle.
ReplyDeleteVery unique block with some inspiration to it. I'm reading Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom for a book club right now.
ReplyDeleteLove anything Nicholas Sparks! That book would be so fun! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI listen to audio books. Currently I am working on "A" is for Alibi by Sue Grafton. I read it a number of years ago and thought it would be fun to listen to it and compare with one of her later books. I have read her entire series.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I quilt as much as I can, when I can tear my eyes away from a book!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read the Divergent series, Sookie Stackhouse, and the Cobbled Court quilt series. I love Jennifer Chiaverini, and just finished her "Spymistress" novel.
Nice block. I know some readers who could really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute block..I need to make on of these for my comfy chair in my office!

ReplyDeleteLove your block. I think reading is so important.

ReplyDeleteGreat block! Thanks for the inspiration as well as the opportunity to win the giveaway. Reading is so very important.

ReplyDeleteI just read "The Invention of Wings" by Sue Monk Kidd. Excellent!

ReplyDeleteToo cute! Right now I'm read The Accursed.

ReplyDeleteLove your block! Thanks sew much for this chance to win your giveaway! :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat block. Love these blog tours.

ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteYes, I had to pull my nose out of a very good book to come and "do the blog". "The Vintage Teacup Club" by Vanessa Greene, my treat to me for Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love to read almost as much as I love to quilt! Both take up most of my spare time. My latest books are the series by Beverly Lewis about the Amish communities. I specifically like it because they often center dialogues around quilting bees.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could recommend something but these days all I read are quilt books! Well actually, I do have "The Red Badge of Courage" open on my Kindle because I've made a lot of Civil War repro quilts in the last two years and I have Jennifer Chivarini's "The Wedding Quilt" on my nightstand to read when I go back to working on my DWR quilt.
ReplyDeleteI just finished "Winter Sea" by Susanna Kearsley. I really like her style of historical fiction
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for a chance to win !!
