It is that time of year in Deschutes County. A Novel Idea is the largest community reading program in the state of Oregon. Now in its 15th year, the library committee reviews and picks one book to share in several cultural and author events. In the last few years, one of the highlights of The Novel Idea has been sponsored by Quiltworks. Anyone who wants to participate is invited to read the novel and create a quilt that is reflective of something in the book that speaks to them.

This year's book, No One Can Pronounce My Name by Rakesh Satyal, is a humorous and tender view though the eyes of an immigrant family who is living in Ohio.



I hope you will decide to read the book and enjoy the quilts that the group at Quiltworks created. It is one of my favorite exhibits each year and it is fun to view after having read the book...so, save this post so you can take a look at the quilts, in the Smilebox below, once you are done!!
