Three Quilting Books

Circle Play is an old friend.  I just get it from the library again and again.  So simple but well thought out idea.  I will get to trying this I am sure....someday....

More Loose Change was not so great.  Okay, in that all quilting books are, but... the content was a bit done over....

Quilting Among Friends was very good.  Lots of inspiration.  Somehow it appeals to my sense of 'I could do that but what if I just changed this...'

Hattitude by Cathy Carron

Really interesting.  There are lots of variety in shape which I especially appreciated but it turns out my head is very close to 23" in circumference and its not too clear how to make that work.  Of course my problem is that most hats are too small.

I think I could work with this.

The Society of Steam Book one


An automaton named Tom, hmmm.  Okay, I have tooo many books right now so this one is going back...but the first couple of chapters were good.  Maybe I will get it again...

New Nine Patch Magic

Wait till you see what I am making...

Spud & Chloe and Mug Hugs

Both about knitting.  Super cute knitted doll & pet sheep with a cartoony story besides. Spud & Chloe is the brand of Alpaca yarn...

Mug Hugs are super cute too.  I actually thought I might make one for my morning cup of joe.  Most of my mugs are tapered tho and these patterns are mostly for straight up ones.  Does this mean I have to BUY a NEW coffee mug???

Most of the mug patterns could be easily adapted for a scarf - you know longer and maybe not sooo narrow, but...
