For those of you looking for a cute book set at Christmas time, you might like In a Holidaze by Cristina Lauren. I got the Kindle version, and just finished it this week. It was a fun, quick read, featuring a character who is in a time loop, kind of like the movie Groundhog Day. […]
Every Friday the Fatquarter Shop introduces a new block of the week in their Sewcialites Sew Along. Kimberly Jolly, the force behind FQS has a YouTube tutorial/video every Friday morning. I enjoy watching them because she often mentions items the shop carries, projects that are coming up, new fabric lines to look forward to etc. […]
Here we go with the second half of my reading month for October. I read some pretty good books this month and can't wait to share them with you. And there is one book most people will love, but wasn't for me. The Last Year of the War by Susan Meissner. Oh my gosh, so […]
October was a terrific reading month for me. I finished 10 books and quit reading one of them because it wasn't for me. I had 6 physical books 5 were on my Kindle. I will split my reviews into two posts so it won't be so long. I am pretty generous with my rating system. […]
My Take It Easy jelly roll blocks are coming along. They are pretty mindless to make. All the strips are cut out and I just have to sit there and sew three together. I love listening to audiobooks while I do sewing that doesn't call for much concentration. My current book is quite gothic in […]
September was a lousy reading month for me. I read seven books, and only enjoyed two of them. I like to keep things positive on this blog, so I will only review the books I liked here. If you are interested in what I had to say about the other books I read, you can […]
I finished nine books this month, most of which were good, one of which was excellent. I read four physical books, four Kindle books and one audiobook. As usual, this will be a long post, so grab your beverage of choice and settle in. Here's my rating system: 5 Stars- amazing, incredible, highly recommend, will […]
Didn't we have a nice conversation about jelly rolls and sources for patterns and books to instruct us how to use them? Thank you so much to everyone who chimed in to mention their favorites. As far as I am concerned, I am flabbergasted that I neglected to mention Kim Brackett and her amazing books […]
Do you sew with Jelly Rolls very often? Ever? I have a collection of eight or ten jelly rolls and I just do not know what to do with them. I thought we could chat in the comments about what sort of quilts some of us have made using this particular pre-cut. Others of you […]
The Beauty in Breaking by Michele Harper. Typically I love a medical memoir. However, this one really fell flat for me. The author is a black woman who has had some rough times in her past, which were alluded to, but not explored in any depth. She got through college, medical school, and her residency […]
