Task # 15.8. Create Your Own Art.

Read a nonfiction book that will help you improve one you’ve already acquired. Don't Shoot the Dog! The New Art of Teaching and Training by Karen Pryor by Karen Pryor Although I have trained several dogs and have a trainer I respect and trust, I am always finding what worked with one dog does not necessarily work with another and ideas new to me are always welcome..

Task 10.8: 26 letters: Bone Dry: An Action-Packed Medical Technothriller by Bette Golden Lamb This title of the book starts with a B, and the title has 2 words in it. Subtitle is ignored. I read the ebook version. The paperback version Bone Dry has 256 pages.

Task 20.5: Heat Freak - Snow Bird - Option 1: In Search of A Revolution by Christopher Fischer. This book is set >= 50% in Finland.

Task 30.3: May all your ups and downs in life be with needle and thread:
Book 1
:
The Last Unicorn The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle by Peter S. Beagle. National Go for a ride day, Nov. 22: If you go for a ride, why not ride a unicorn? My quilt has a Unicorn in the center panel, just like the one on the cover of my copy of the book, or maybe like one of the scenes from the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry series. Along the edges there I would plan alternated decorative patterns with other mythical pictures.
IL: UG BL: 6.2 AR pts: 11.0
Book 2: Rose Hill Rose Hill by Pamela Grandstaff by Pamela Grandstaff. National Love Note day. Sept. 26. The rose is a universal symbol of love, and my quil would be a lasting love note. My quilt is composed of randomly placed squares of different sizes, each square with a different rose in full bloom. The edges would be thorny vines, to represent that love is not "all roses and sunshine", but also a struggle at times.
I love this task - I could think about a quilt for many of the books I read.
