Marilynne Robinson's book "Gilead" is a real treat. It's
written as a letter/memoir from an elderly father to his young
son, to be read when the son is older.
Marilynne teaches at the University of Iowa Writer's
Workshop and she won the Pulitzer Prize for this book. No
surprise there! Just read the first page and you'll be hooked.

Bergstrom Compson treasures
an antique quilt called by three
names -- Birds in the Air, after
its pattern; the Runaway Quilt,
after the woman who sewed it;
and the Elm Creek Quilt, after
the place to which its maker
longed to return. That quilter
was Joanna, a fugitive slave
who traveled by the
Underground Railroad to reach
safe haven in 1859 at Elm
Creek Farm.

I am amazed that Kim keeps coming
up with truly glorious quilts with
every one of her books. Simple
Comforts features 12 cozy lap quilts
and I like every single one of them.
As with her other books these quilts
are either totally pieced or are a
combination of piecing and appliqué

Autumn Gatherings by Lisa Bongean and
Carole Charles of Primitive Gatherings
have put together a very fine book.
There is a lot to like in this book as it has
quilts, table mats and runners, wall
hangings, pillows and recipes. The varied
types of fall projects make this an
excellent value as there is something for
everyone. I must admit in looking through
the recipes scattered throughout the book
that the book just gets better
