Good Reads and Some Not So Much

The following books are ones I enjoyed, but maybe are not the literary quality of the ones from yesterday's post. Lisa Gardner is a prolific author, whose books I am currently obsessing over.  I started with her Detective D.D. Warren series and have read the following, one after the other:  Alone, Hide, The Neighbor, Live […]

Book Reviews Winter

I've read some really good books since the beginning of the year, and thought I would share my favorites with you.  The books listed below were my absolute favorites.  I joined the Book of the Month Club in February, and have been enjoying it so much.  These days, you pre-pay for your year's membership (they […]

Recent Books

This will be a longer post than usual.  As you know, I am an avid reader and love to share some of the books I have enjoyed from time to time.  If you are interested in hearing about some good books, grab yourself a cup of coffee and make yourself comfy for awhile! Girl Underwater […]

The Block Tool

When I was trying to select a category for the post I was in a quandary.  "Books"?  "Blocks"? "Tools"? The little fan of wonderfulness above is all of those things.  The pages are laminated and double sided, and contain instructions for making 102 rotary cut quilt blocks in 5 different sizes, from 3"  on up. […]

Retail Therapy

I ordered a couple of things from the Fatquartershop and when I took them out of the box I was so excited I took a couple of pictures to share with you.   First up are refills for the Sewline glue pen I was telling you all about.  Great for appliqué.  Next is the Farmer's […]

Three Months of Books

I read a lot, probably more than the average person.  When I do my recaps of what I have been reading, I usually get positive comments, so I thought I would share with you what I have read since Christmas.  First I will tell you about the books I liked and finished and finish up […]

New Cookbook

 I saw my sister T this past weekend.  We are a bit of a bad influence on one another, I have to say.  If I have something new, she wants it and if she has something new, I think I need to have it too.  One of her new acquisitions is the cookbook you see […]

What I Read On My Vacation

One great thing about vacations is that they usually supply a good amount of time for reading.  My ideal vacations do anyway.  I have a very busy life right now, between caring for a frail 92 year old man, a 2 year old toddler, a part time job, and keeping up a 3600 square foot […]

Mission Accomplished

Well, no, it isn't finished, but I am making great progress on attaching the lattice on my Hill Country Baskets blocks.  A reader commented on my last post that she could not see that fussy cutting the striped fabric for the lattice was worth all the trouble, but I could not disagree more.  What would […]

Good Read

Since I haven't been doing much on the sewing front, I thought I would share a book recommendation with you today.  This is one of the best books I have read in some time, and I have read some good ones this year.  This is a book that has stayed with me long after I […]
