Never one to turn down a challenge, I’m participating in Cheryl Sleboda’s 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge and following a prompt each day to post a little something. (I put a link to her post down at the bottom–that’s where you can find all of the participants. Heck, you can join in, too, you can post on social media if you don’t have a blog.)
Day 10: Top 5 quilt Books
I love books. Specifically, I love actual physical books. Nothing against e-readers or audiobooks–obviously they have their advantages–but I will always choose a tangible quilt book when given the option.
I love the smell, I love dogeared pages, I love marginalia, I love being able to flip back and forth easily to refer to different pages. And I love that it’s basically impossible for me to narrow them down to a list of five favorites. However, I can safely list the books I refer to most often.
