Here's one of my Christmas presents.After seeing this movie I was inspired....
NOT to be a wonderful cook...
sorry kids...
but to learn more about Julia Child.
Her enthusiasm about cooking reminded me of
my enthusiasm about quilting!!
I ordered her book from the interlibrary loan system.What a GREAT invention!!
I picked it up today, so now you all know what
I'LL be doing this weekend!!
(and I hear there's rain coming my way...woo hoo!)
I also brought this book home.Don't you think I'll be inspired by looking at these knits?
It looks very much like a quilt book...hmmmm.
Then there was this book:
This one's been checked out by "yours truly"
This one's been checked out by "yours truly"
Many TIMES!!
Everything about the title screams My name...
Scrap quilts...the art of making do
That fits me to a "T".
I'm hoping it will again inspire me as I
DREAM about using some gifts sent by
a quilting-blog-friend Barbara.
Thanks Barbara!!!
Aren't these pretty?
This is one of my favorites!!!
And LAST but not least...
Do you think I'll learn anything from this one???
I can sure use the help!!!
I loved that movie!!! Have fun with the book!
ReplyDeleteMy Life in France is a great read, and the movie is one of my favorites too. Enjoy the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie (and actually liked it better than the book -- which is rare for me). But the real treat is My Life in France. I, too, was intrigued by Julia Child and just had to read more. I really enjoyed that book. And even though I kind of a slapdash, throw anything together quickly to get back to sewing, kind of cook, I was inspired enough by Julie to ask for a receive a Julia Child cooking class for Christmas. The class is tomorrow night, and it is hands on. Yikes! Visions of Julia chopping hundreds of onions!
ReplyDeleteI love the interlibrary loan system, too, and also checked out The Way to Cook, but had to return it before I made anything. Oops :). And I have a copy of the Roberta Horton book. I bought it at a used bookstore and also could not resist the name.

Oh -- and are those vintage fabrics? Pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day you are having!
ReplyDeletePretty vintage fabrics. . .Love. I've yet to see Julie and Julia, but I have fond memories of watching Julia on PBS with my grandma when I was little.
