The stack. 
 I like beautiful books as much as the next person, and if they're about architecture or quilting, even better! This is the stack that's been frequenting my bedside table lately, for that last minute inspiration before I drift off to sleep. The book on top is my latest acquisition -  Quilting Line + Color by Yoshiko Jinzenji.  AMAZING!  I pre-ordered it a few months back from Amazon based on the title and cover alone, and was not disappointed. Very fresh, and all that white!  It reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite books, Landscape Painted with Tea by Milorad Pavic: 
".... because it matters what kind of emptyness is left behind by people and things." 

I've been wanting a design wall for so long and I finally tackled it this weekend! I had originally planned to buy stretcher frame sections, but after I priced them out ($60!), I opted for the budget foam core version ($16.50). I used 1/2" thick foam core in white, which doesn't deflect at all, and wrapped it in a slightly off-white flannel, attaching the flannel to the back of the board with straight pins. Tape would probably work better, but the pins seemed more forgiving. I initially mounted it to the wall with adhesive strips, but the board fell during the night. Plan B will use binder clips and picture wire, with hopefully better results!
