Inspiring new books

Sometimes it's hard for us to keep up with the new additions of books, books and videos... But it is fun to try. Thank goodness creativity is alive and well - as evidenced by a continual stream of fantastic new media in our bookstore. Here is a snapshot - additions in the last month or so - of what has newly arrived on our loading dock. These books are hot off the press!

Halcyon is a firm believer in the power of books to inspire. Finding "just the right" book can be a fun, but challenging prospect. Here we give several options for browsing our books collection. Search from just the books collection here:

We hope you find what you're looking for (or are plesantly surprised to find something that you didn't know you were looking for). As always, call or email with questions!

 

“ I am the organizer and director of Wounded Warrior Quilt Project in Estero, FL, during the winters. 35 ladies and I made and sent 150 hospital bed sized quilts to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at the Ramstein AF Base in Germany this season. We tie the quilts. The tying ladies tried yarn: too hard to pull thru because of the large needles required for the yarn. They tried embroidery floss: nope. too skinny, requiring double or triple knots using all 6 plies. Crochet cotton: no good, too skinny. Someone gave us part of a spool of your size 2-3 pearl cotton. VOILA!!! It was perfect for tying knots in our quilts! The tying ladies were overjoyed but we used it all, leading me to the internet where I found Halcyon Yarns and ordered "soldier blue." It makes nice tight knots and is easy to thread and pull through the three layers of our quilts. THANK YOU for helping us in our mission to send comfort and love in every stitch to our wounded warriors in that hospital. ”
