The Needlecraft Book

View in Library Catalog
book cover


As an accomplished crafter and fiber artist, this encyclopedic book covers all of my favorite crafts. Its oversized pages provide clear and detailed photographs with instructions on knitting, embroidery, needlepoint, quilting, crochet, applique and patchwork. Designed for both the beginner and advanced crafters, this book is a useful and beautiful addition to my crafting library.

The Kingmaker's Daughter
by Philippa Gregory

book cover


This book follows the 2 daughters of the man who was responsible for people seated on the throne of England in the 1400's. It follows the 2 girls through their lives and does a beautiful job of following their changing view of the position of Queen from their childhood until their death. It is a wonderful, albeit at times a grim, look at the life of powerful women during that time period.

Dead Sleep
by Greg Iles

book cover


In this story about women who go missing and then have their dead images appear in paintings, Isles does an excellent job in developing the characters and their connections to one another. And this is important because the subject matter here is often harsh and without this development of characters, it would simply be a brutal story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and liked the ending.

The Story Of Arthur Truluv
by Elizabeth Berg

book cover


This is the second time I read this book and I enjoyed it just as much the second time, picking up parts of the story more intensely this time. This is a perfect story of 2 generations who are in need of each other and who come together in the best way possible. While each of the 3 central living characters (and I have to include living as one character who feature prominently is deceased) has their challenges, they come together to help one another perfectly, even if for some the motivation may be selfish. This is a story that will touch your heart.

The Big Sleep

book cover


This is a good old fashioned detective story where women were “dames” and were “notin but trouble”. The language is fun and the central character is the grounding influence here as everyone else in the story is either crazy or a killer…..and one is both.
