Booktalking with TheBookDragon

I love to read. Nothing suits me better than to curl up in my cave with a good book and a hot cup of coffee. In this virtual dragon's den, I share random book thoughts, and explore books, libraries, websites, teaching, and other related treasures.

  • Books & Quilts

    Scraps of old favorites--
    shirts, skirts, pants,
    Stories shared
    Memories of times past.

    Bits of new-found fabrics--
    colors catch the eye-
    Newfound treasure,
    Stories to be.

    Cut. Shaped. Pieced.
    Beauty and comfort
    Old and new
    Bound together

    New design,
    New purpose,
    Shared.
    Life enriched.
    --Ronda Y. Foust, 2011
