Teach yourself Facebook in 10 minutes.

I've been working on the Facebook Group and Page for Minnesota Quilters.
But what I want to know is how does a 200 page book teach you facebook in 10 minutes?
Guess I'll have to read really fast because it's not a picture book.

Textile Center Authors Lunch - Claudia Clark Myers

Heike and I went to the monthly Author Lecture and October was Claudia Clark Myers.  It interests me to hear of the path it takes to go from a Quilter to an Author.

 

Claudia Clark Myers talked about the way she uses color to really make her quilts zing.  Her piecing technique is easy, her book comes with the patterns. 

Long Time No See...

I haven't been in the sewing room for over a month now...feels strange to not have blogged all this time either.  It's been a weird summer full of ebbs and flows.  But I did just finish a hilarious book "Holiday Inn" by Kevin Kling, a Minneapolis author.  This book had me laughing outloud in the middle of the night in a quiet house.  Even the Intro is funny.

Inspiration!

art + quilt by Lyric Kinard

I am totally loving this book!  It's full of joyful-kick-in-the-pants-inspiration, full of different avenues to start up creativity.
It's actually hard to read through because I get so many ideas after reading only a few pages...I have to stop and go try something! 
If you click on the cover picture for the Amazon link, then click on "See inside", you can read some of the book.

Robbi Joy Eklow sure has a great sense of humor, I'm really enjoying this book. 
One of my favorite quotes so far:
" I bet most quilters, even if they are more careful about what they buy, have many more books than finished quilts.  I no longer feel guilty about that.  If I collected murder mysteries, would I feel bad about not going out and killing  a few people every time I got a new book?  Of course not."

Amazon link

Apparently some are having a hard time seeing my Amazon.com link at the top of the right column. 
So I'm adding this link to Joyces book, but once you go there, you can search for whatever you want.
Let me know if it works.
Thanks
