audio books

I love audio books because they can ride around with you and entertain you and you don't lose all that time that you wanted to read and had to run errands,go to work etc.
I have Frindel in my car right now because I pick up my adopted great grandson Shane from school and we both like stories and reading. I also have Sing a Song of Tuna Fish. I find it different. I have been using audio books for many years just because I wanted to spend some quality time in my car. It is so boring to ride in a car with just music.

Frindel makes me laugh because a few years ago I replaced a dictionary that I had had for many years and boy what a surprise to see some of the words that are now in the dictionary. Such as Quillow. combination pillow and quilt. this set me thinking of all kinds of words you only hear in certain geographical areas.

I am going to see if I can find The Grapes of Wrath on audio. I have read it many years ago,
but would love to revisit it and audio would be good.

EXPORT

Well, I finally sent my first export to India. I have a friend that I meet last year because her son was in our class. Her inlaws were going to India and wanted me to make them a quilt for their granddaughter in India. I had made my friend's son one last year with Cars on it and his and his cousin's picture on it. If I can download the pictures I will so you can see it. I used Dora, The Explorer and pink fabric for top and pink flannel for the back. Photo quilts are so much fun and I love the results. You can use any copier and buy the sew in copier material that is available from several different outlets including Walmart. It is washable, so no problem with using it on a quilt for kids. I also made a pillowcase, so the quilt fit right into it.
