It's good to push out of the comfort zone and expand one's vistas in the process.

I have also read the Thousand Suns and enjoyed it very much. It is hard to find time to do all the things that we are suppose to do.<BR/>I think your quilt looks just fine-you will find the way to make it work out.<BR/>Happy reading and quilting,<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-26321686638504615922008-10-11T01:20:00.000-07:002008-10-11T01:20:00.000-07:00Block looks ok to me... what do I know?I have not ...Block looks ok to me... what do I know?<BR/>I have not read that yet, so will look out for it.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-16082143329524366212008-10-10T05:15:00.000-07:002008-10-10T05:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for the book advice..and without further in...Thanks for the book advice..and without further info. the block looks great to me, TraceyTracey @ozcountryquiltingmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599606762035730873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-77111585120479724322008-10-10T05:13:00.000-07:002008-10-10T05:13:00.000-07:00I'll have to look for that book.

Hubby liked it, also. There is a movie from the book as well. I think we Americans need to read more stories about ordinary people in other parts of the world. It helps us to realize how ordinary people everywhere have more in common than we are often led to believe. I've got the new one by him but haven't read it yet. I'm saving it for the long cold winter, snuggled under a quilt with a good book.<BR/><BR/>ps:thanks for the info on that water soluble thread. I'm going to try it.Julie in the Barnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147114606468287519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-61912626423376973592008-10-09T08:36:00.000-07:002008-10-09T08:36:00.000-07:00Elaine, have been reading your blog for a while no...Elaine, have been reading your blog for a while now and enjoy seeing what you are doing - your quilts are wonderful! Had to comment about the book - read it too and it was great. The other one mentioned "A Thousand Splended Suns" is also well written and hard to put down. My latest favorite book is called "The Island" by Victoria Hislop. It is a historical fiction novel set in a seaside village in Crete and a Leper Colony on an island nearby. The time frame is before WWII and after. It is one of those books you can't put down.<BR/>Keep quilting between reading those good books.<BR/>LynnLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327282482525374694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-83370372293008762772008-10-09T05:22:00.000-07:002008-10-09T05:22:00.000-07:00I have just read A Thousand Splendid Suns.
