Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. This is day seventy-one of that project.

This quilt block shows a store front of a bookstore. The building's decorative roof is shaped in such a way that it makes the building look like an open book. Under the roof lining is a sign that says, — Click To Enlarge

If you love to read, is there anything better than a good book in front of a cozy fire, a snuggly blanket, and your feet up? That’s what the owner of this bookstore thought when she decided on the name Cozy Afternoon Books.

I love to read. I have always been an avid reader. A perfect vacation for me is on the beach with 4 or 5 books, a sunhat, and a cocktail. I read, wade in the water, and doze.

Repeat.

Ahhhh.

A few years ago, my children bought me a Kindle. My thumbs were starting to ache to hold the books open (sewist’s thumb). I thought it was very thoughtful but wondered how much I’d use it. Oh my goodness, I am on the fourth one, having worn out the first three.

Anytime I am reading non-fiction, I use it (every day). Of course, I still appreciate books and read out of them every day to the grandchildren.

Right now, we are reading Tom Sawyer.
