I read twelve books in July, which was a terrific reading month for me. Twelve book reviews in one post is a lot to get through, so I am going to break up my reviews into Part One and Part Two. Here is my rating system: 5 Stars- amazing, incredible, highly recommend, will be thinking […]
No, I didn't read all these. But I did read seven books in June and I will tell you about them shortly. First, I'd like to point out one of my favorite decorative pieces that my husband gave me a couple of Christmasses ago. This piece is by Houston Llew, an artist who paints with […]
I am excited to share that Gail S. is the winner of the Lori Holt book "Farm Girl Vintage". The random number generator thing was used, and her comment was the number that came up. I hope she will enjoy the book, as I highly recommend it for the variety of patterns and remarkably clear […]
In my recent sort out of the sewing room, I discovered that I had purchased this book twice. It is "Farm Girl Vintage" by Lori Holt. The book is full of great quilt block patterns, in sizes 6" or 12". I love it when books provide a size option. There are some cute novelty block […]
This little mini quilt is called Cabin Skein. Designed by Carrie Nelson, her explanation for the name is that a group of flying geese is called a "skein". Since the quilt involves both Log Cabin Blocks and Flying Geese, she thought the name was appropriate. The pattern is in a book called Moda All Stars […]

I read quite a lot in the month of May. Twelve books total, which is a lot more than I have done in a great while. It seems my powers of concentration are back! I read 8 hardback books, one audio book and three books on my Kindle. So here is my take on them: […]
Hope you all had a splendid Mother's Day, if it is a day you celebrate. Here I am, enjoying one of my Mother's Day presents–new rocking chairs for my front porch! And of course, there is Ozzie, plaguing me while I am trying to enjoy my book. We have a super long front porch, and […]
This is my TBR (To Be Read) bookshelf. Plenty there to keep me occupied. But as it turned out April was one of my worst reading months in a very long time. Usually, I can breeze through at least two books a week, but I barely finished four books all month. For some reason, my […]
This book is everything. It is Slow Cooker: The Best Cookbook Ever by Diane Phillips. And it truly is the best slow cooker cookbook I have ever used. Without a doubt. This slow cooker book has over 400 recipes and I have yet to make one that hasn't been raved about. You won't find many […]
