250 posts! Wow! It is quite amazing how a little blog called Librarygal Quilts accumulated 250 bits of quilting and life and shared them with some wonderful people! You Gals have been wonderful and I feel a real affection for my virtual quilting buddies. So, I made a little quilty present for a giveaway and of course I had to include a book. Any Librarygal worth her salt wants to give books to her friends! So here's your opportunity to win a mug rug made with the darling fabric known as Paris Apartment with a little bit of Full Bloom, by Bari J. and a polka dot mug to match and a lovely book The Gentle Art of Quiltmaking by Jane Brocket. I love this book. It's beautifully written and has some timeless patterns to make over and over again. You'll love it!
Here's the giveaway guidelines: Tell me your favorite quilting book, and if you want a second chance to win, become a follower. If you share my giveaway let me know and I'll throw your name in again! I will choose a winner on Friday, April 20th at 7:30 pm!
On the family front, my daughter Paloma has decided to start quilting and has now taken her first class and finished her first quilt for her little guy Deakin. Yay!
Our other daughter Carmen has been accepted at UC Berkeley for graduate school in English Education in Multicultural Urban Secondary Education . Woo!
Mike is getting close to retiring and I just celebrated 30 years at Chico State! We are a happy family! 
I have to say, it's good to have a blog. It keeps track of some very important times in your life and connects you with others who love what you love. Thank you gals for 5 years of friendship!
Lots of Love and Wishes for time to Create! Pam

Sharon of Grassroots sent me over. I noticed you are at Chico State. My niece is also there! My sister and her two daughters all live in Chico. All quilters of course. I have a great admiration for those of you successfully maintaining your blogs. All for our enjoyment. This is my first visit to yours. I have so many favorites when it comes to books. I especially like the research books, anything by Gwen Marston or Blackbird Designs, or Jo Morton..i could go on and on...Congrats on your 250 blog posts!
Gwen Marston's Liberated STring Quilts always speaks to my soul. I have a small quilting library and the books that stick around speak to my soul each time I open them.
Congrats on your blog.

My first book, Little Quilts, is probably still my favorite. I've worn it out and it still makes me LONG to quilt.

While I don't know much about traditional quilting, I love Denyse Schmidt's books on modern quilting. Congrats on 250!
