My two great loves (excluding family and pets, LOL) are quilting and reading. And so, I love that there are quilting groups that read...or is it book clubs that quilt...? It makes perfect sense to this die hard bibliophile and fabric aficionado, to combine the two! If you Google book clubs and quilting, there are all kinds of suggestions. As I read through the variety of links, I realized that the book and quilt combo can take on many forms. Some book groups are all about the quilting and choose a favorite quilting book to share. Other groups decide on a novel and then the participants create a quilt reflecting something in the book that spoke to them. There are also quilt groups that choose a book, make a quilt, and when they get together, the hostess serves a meal that is reflective of the location or storyline of the book...so many options!

The Undercover Quilters in Central Oregon are such a group, a quilting group that reads, LOL. QuiltWorks in Bend, Oregon showcased a display of quilts where each member created a quilt reflective of something in the book, Kitchens of the Great Midwest. If you are ever in Bend, Oregon, you must take the time to visit the Gallery at QuiltWorks. The inspiration is just what a quilting soul needs and you might be able to just find your next read!
