New Quiltmania book and Thimble!

Received this new book yesterday, "Meanderings of a Quilt Collector" by Jane Lury.  A picture-filled hardcover book from Quiltmania.  And all I've had time for so far is to look at the pictures!  Can't wait to actually Read it!!   And when not being read, it is a beautiful coffee table book!

An example of the fabulous close-ups!

This one reminds me of one Sue Rivers showed at the Old Sturbridge Village AQSG meeting at OSV in April of this year.

End papers!

Gorgeous quilt from only two fabrics!

Have seen advertising recently for the "Roxette" thimble, a version of the "Roxanne" thimble that I've been using for many years.  Loved the thimble...... once I finally got the correct size and correct metal.......the only allergy I have is to cheap metals (and some plastics).......even silver.......gold one is the only one I could wear without breaking out.  Tried the newer Roxette and I love it......it is lighter weight and stays on my finger nicely.  Only XS-S-M-L and XLsizes (different color for each size).  My old gold and new red thimble!  And oh, the price is about half of the old Roxannes!

"Morris Earthly Paradise" by Barbara Brackman arrived last week......gorgeous, rich colors!

Lots of new fabrics....(boltgoods, layer cakes and charms) start arriving August-November!  Jo Morton's new Moda line, "Gratitude", "Preservation" Collection for a Cause, "Pumpkin Pie by Laundry Basket Quilts (Edyta Sitar), "Baltimore Blues" by Barbara Brackman, "Hope's Journey" by Betsy Chutchian,   "Country Road" panel from Holly Taylor.
