This and That
I am a bit distracted this week, because I started a new book that I have been eagerly anticipating. "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles. O.M.G. I loved his previous books, "Rules of CIvility" and "A Gentleman of Moscow". This one may be my favorite of all. If you liked WIlliam Kent Kruger's "This Tender…

I Did It!
I set a goal to finish the last row of the Serendipity Sew Along Quilt this week and I did it! I still have to sew the rows together and attach the borders, but that is a goal for another week. I really love the colors in this quilt and know I will enjoy putting…

Last Serendipity Row Coming Along
All my block units are finished and ready to sew into blocks. Row Seven of the Serendipity Sew Along is nearly a done deal. With luck, I will finish the six blocks today. In other news, this is my tree in the backyard that I share every year. The leaves start to change color and…

Books Read in September 2021

I Love Mondays
I saw something on FaceBook yesterday, where someone was moaning about it being Monday. I have quite the opposite reaction to Mondays. I love Mondays. I am home with my husband again, I can enjoy my house, and if time allows, get caught up on a bit of sewing or reading. Mondays are a re-set…

Then This Happened
Oh dear, I am not sure what came over me. This is Fig Tree & Co.'s latest Halloween collection "Pumpkins and Blossoms". It is different from, but coordinates perfectly with their previous Halloween group "All Hallows Eve". You know I am making the "Among the Stars Again" Block of the Month in a beautiful Christmas…

Block One Christmas Among the Stars Again
I squeezed in some time to make the first block of the Christmas Among the Stars Again BOM program. I was delighted that one of the units in the block was an Hourglass. I had recently purchased just the perfect little tool for trimming them. I recently bought a set of Lori Holt's "Cute Cuts"…
