It is a delicious pleasure that is free to every couple and every family. Having said this, it has never occured to me to read to my sewing circle.

The idea popped up in a post on the site Library Advocate.

Gloria Whelan Homeless BirdThe librarians from the School Library Learning Team have put together a list of wonderful books to be read aloud at your sewing circle. I was very pleased to see Gloria Whelan’s Homeless Bird made the list.

I bought this book for my daughter and just fell in love with it. For the 13 year old girl in the story sewing is both joy and survival. Her love of sewing shapes her destiny and yes, it has a satisfying happy ending.

Many of the books in the reading list are new to me. I can’t wait to put in an order for them at the library.

You can see the original list on the Library Advocate link above. I think we should put together our own list.

Do you have a favourite story you would like to read to your sewing circle?
