Summer has arrived and that means some sewing, some reading, and some Eva time. This is a block for the Peace and Healing BOW I have been working on. Love this block. Eva is really into making smoothies these days. And they are a delightful treat on a warm afternoon. This one was strawberries, bananas, […]
This is the latest block in the Moda Blockheads 4 sew-along. Block 8, "Wild Geese", designed by Kate Spain. It was supposed to be all half-square triangles, but that was too many seams for me. I changed it up and made flying geese units instead. For the 9" block, my sewing units were one 3 […]
These are the two latest blocks in the Midnight Moon Quilt Along. Bear's Tracks on the left and Buzzard's Roost on the right. Patterns are from the Summer Moon book by Carrie Nelson. An excellent book with over 30 quilt block patterns in three sizes. A great reference tool even if you aren't making the […]

February 2022 was another great reading month for me. I read 12 books. Two in print, three on audio, seven digital (Kindle). I seem to be selecting books better than before, based on my higher ratings. Four of the books I read were 5 stars for me, and four of them were 4 stars. None […]
I've blown my spending allowance on books rather than fabric lately. The books in the photo above are new releases that I just couldn't resist. Three of them are Book of the Month selections. The Love of My Life is the Good Morning America book club choice for March. The others I bought from my […]
What a great reading month this January was for me! I read 11 books. 6 digital (on my Kindle), 2 audio, and 3 physical. Astonishingly, a total of 7 books ranked 4 or 5 stars. This month I concentrated on mainly reading books that I already owned, something I need to do more of. All […]
2021 was an outstanding reading year for me. I read a total of 125 books! More important than that number, however, is the fact that out of those books, 23 of them earned 5 star ratings from me. Here are my stats: 33 books in Hardback67 books on my Kindle25 books on Audio Here is […]
Well, this was a disappointing reading month for me. Only 8 books. Two hard copies, two audiobooks and four Kindle books. One five-star read, two four and a half-stars, and five that ranked from pretty good to ick. My reviews in order of preference below: Raft of Stars by Andrew J. Graff. This book was […]
October was a very good reading month. I read nine books this month. Three hardback books, three audio books, and three books on my Kindle. Five books were excellent, three were varying stages of good, and one was just weird. "The Lost Girls of Devon" by Barbara O'Neal was pretty good. The plot of this […]
