tpixie @Kimzey I haven‘t either, but I agree the premise sounds great and she did a great job with this virtual of that! 4y

Kimzey @tpixie Where are you finding the author talks? 4y

tpixie @Kimzey some through Facebook. there was a Gaithersburg virtual book festival that went over several weeks through June and they were a few good ones. Look for Gaithersburg truck festival on YouTube and subscribe to that and you‘ll be able to find a bunch of different ones. this one was great. I‘m reading the The last train to London now and I want to read the Paris hours also. https://youtu.be/PBANHXPtnsE 4y

tpixie @Kimzey Also if you have favorite authors go to YouTube and just search for them and you can find a lot of their speeches have been recorded (edited) 4y

Kimzey @tpixie Thanks for the Gaithersburg Book Festival link. I can spend hours on YouTube, if I‘m not careful. 😊 4y

tpixie @Kimzey I listen to this author a couple different times & her book sounds awesome https://youtu.be/5MMIwvwgEZs

tpixie @Kimzey check out Tattered Cover and Politics& Prose on Twitter - they have had a lot of virtual author events. Oh! And the app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eventbrite/id487922291 then search for author events and for location, use online 4y

tpixie @Kimzey lol I‘ve also listened to Casey Cep a couple of times. She was intriguing. Her book is

Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee

Kimzey I‘ve met her too! We read Furious Hours for my book club. It was a great choice. Are you in Alabama, by any chance? 4y

tpixie @Kimzey that‘s awesome! No, Kansas. I have spent maybe too much time listening about new books, instead of reading the books! Lol 😂 Chris Bohjalian is also always interesting to listen to talk. (edited) 4y

The Intentional Thread: A Guide to Drawing, Gesture, and Color in Stitch | Susan Brandeis

Feeling low, I ordered this (fairly expensive) book from Amazon without browsing it first in real life to see ifI would like the contents. It came, I‘ve browsed, and I love it, and know I will get many hours of pleasure and inspiration from it.

LiteraryinPA Oooh, it looks beautiful! 5y

Fridameetslucy I have to check it out ! I have rizzoli published book called the manipulated fabric which is amazing but also daunting 5y

Push Stitchery: 30 Artists Explore the Boundaries of Stitched Art | Jamie Chalmers, Lark Books

Pizza is in the oven, rum is in my glass, and my #bookoutlet #bookhaul arrived today! Believe it or not, I showed a little restraint.

No doubt hubby will use this as an excuse to buy another bass.

kidamy ...that comment about my hubby sounded much less playful than I intended! 😄 6y

The Burning Chambers | Kate Mosse

A very small amount of reading before sleep. I've been returning to cross stitch for the first time in almost 7yrs so I've let my reading slip. Let's change that. The picture is Madame la Kitty as a friend called her, and this is my progress after twenty hours of stitching

Bookzombie Cute! 6y

AnneCecilie So cute 😍😍😍 6y

melbeautyandbooks Nice stitching! I am also a cross stitcher. I just started about 4 or 5 months ago. Sometimes, I listen to audiobooks while I stitch. I have learned a lot about stitching thanks to Flosstube. 6y

EllanaRose @Bookzombie and @AnneCecilie - Thanks both! 6y

EllanaRose @melbeautyandbooks - I've been stitching for a decade, started when I was getting stressed about college. I love it. I struggle with audio stitching, I find one of the two ends up getting ignored, so I just watch my favourite shows on Netflix. Yay you for being able to do that though! 6y

melbeautyandbooks @EllanaRose Yes it is a good stress reliever. I only listen to really easy stuff like cozy mysteries. I also watch TV and stitch with me videos on Flosstube. Looking forward to seeing your finished piece! 6y

AntiCraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister | Renee Rigdon, Zabet Stewart

Got lots of crafting books from the library today ✨

Ft. my current knitting project, a hufflepuff scarf for a friend of mine. I can't decide if it's just a slow-to-make project or if I'm just a really slow knitter 😝

saresmoore I made a Slytherin scarf for my husband a couple of years ago and it took FOREVER. It was crochet, but I used a very light DK yarn and a small hook. Somehow I doubt it‘s just you! Also, I love that Mollie Makes book, but I‘ve yet to make anything from it. 😬 6y

queerbookreader @saresmoore I'm using a worsted weight yarn but on thin ish needles it's taking soooooo long 😭😭 I loved the Mollie Makes knitting book so I got the crochet one to see what was in it! 6y

saresmoore There is excellent use of color in the Mollie Makes Crochet book. When I first got it, my stash was mostly worsted and the patterns are largely DK. Oh, but I lied, I did make one of the blankets from the book and it turned out really pretty! 6y

NovelGirl82 Ugh! I need to learn how to knit. I‘m in dire need of half finger gloves, and can‘t find any that I like. The only ones that I found that I really liked were cashmere, so they cost a fortune! It would be so much easier if I could just make them. (Also, I could make myself a ravenclaw scarf, which I definitely need!) 6y

queerbookreader @NovelGirl82 Dooooo iiiiiit. Just kick yourself in the butt and do it. The beginning of this year I was like "bitch this is the year you are finally going to learn how to knit or so help me god" and now I can knit!! I learned from this book

Make and Mend: Sashiko-Inspired Embroidery Projects to Customize and Repair Textiles and Decorate Your Home | Jessica Marquez

pick

4⭐️ It‘s about a specific style of embroidery that use geometric patterns to not only create art, but mend everyday use items like jeans, jackets, etc. The author heavily goes through making your own patterns, how they are drawn, and the easiest way to complete each pattern. As someone who has embroidered since childhood, I Liked seeing these new techniques and the unique patterns that seem fresh and new while being classic and useful.

Lindy Beautiful and useful — a winning combination. 😊 6y

julesG OMG, I soooo need this. I love visible mending and adore the Japanese style. 6y

LibrarianRyan @julesG you do need this. It‘s really cool. Not out yet but soon. 6y

julesG The Japanese even mend china/dishes in a very visible way. I still have to get the materials to tackle a broken plate the right way. Did you get a physical ARC or an eARC through NetGalley? 6y

LibrarianRyan @julesG E galley. I have my name in for a polio galley but doubt I get picked. 6y

julesG 🙈🙈🙈🙈 It's on my NetGalley shelf. This is embarrassing. How did I forget about it? 6y

LibrarianRyan @julesG I did too. I have a new iPad and had to redo load everything fresh. So I saw it. 6y
