    I am sorry, Irene. I posted the wrong post! Today I have my 10th poem in a series of Poetry Friday poems about poetry. It's at http://poemfarm.blogspot.com/2010/07/if-i-were-octopus-mypowriye-121.html
    Happy PF, everyone!

    Irene, thank you for hosting, and for your sweet comments on Borrowed Names, and the giveaway! You're too much. I'm not entering, just thanking: I'm going to look for Three Rivers Rising!

    Hi Irene,
    I wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying Leaving Gee's Bend. After reading the first 90 pages yesterday I am in love with Ludelphia. You and I share the love of literature and quilting. If I could write half as good as you someday...Bravo ~ a great first novel!

    Oops, sorry I posted the first time with a link to your page.

    Thanks for hosting, Irene. I've won a book recently so I won't enter again for now, but I'm realizing that I missed somehow your Gee's Bend book! I don't know that I'll ever make a quilt again, but the Gee's Bend quilters have certainly inspired a new appreciation for imprecise beauty in quilts and otherwheres. Looking forward to it!
