Well things have stalled around here. Hurricane Helene was breathing down our necks and we didn't know which way she would go. It is always Russian roulette when it comes to hurricanes. But I did received my September Sew Sampler from the Fat Quarter Shop. And as always, there are fun things to explore.
I love the Jolly Bars so this was a real treat! And of course a new 5 1/2" square ruler will be most useful.
Have fun and Happy Quilting!
Unfortunately I could not get a picture of the quilt with the new mama, but here is what it looks like.
If you are a fan of Richard Paul Evans, then Christmas in Bethel is for you.
Leigh Beth Stilton has had a difficult life. On one Christmas eve she decides to give it all up. But she comes across a book, Bethel, that changes everything for her.
Beth meets a man in the coffee shop on her way to the book signing of J. D. Harper, the author of Bethel. The two connect, and before she knows it, she realizes the man is actually J. D. She is swept up in a world of dinners, travel and the attention she craves. But when she discovers his secret, will she be able to trust her heart again?
This story is classic Richard Paul Evans. He takes us on a journey that is heartwarming, an easy read about love and redemption. The perfect Christmas story.
I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Rushing towards a deadline. Making a baby quilt for a baby shower next Saturday. The pattern is Lattice Baby Quilt
Hope I can finish it in time.
Fa La La La Faking it by Teri Wilson is a delightful Christmas story.
Adaline Bishop loves to bake. she is also involved with training puppies as therapy dogs. When she visits her grandmother at the Senior center she stops by room 212. There isn't a single decoration in the room. Plus Mr. Martin is cranky, a real grinch. But she pastes on a smile and tries to bring a little sunshine into the elderly mans day. As much as she tries, he growls at her to leave,
Jace Martin has returned to Bluebonnet to care for his dying uncle. But when Adaline realizes who Jace is, she burns with fury. The fifth grade comes marching back to her memory of how Jace had embarrassed her in front of the whole school.
This was a fun read. Enemies to lovers was a slow process with a fake relationship along the way. Jace tries to make up for what had happened years ago. I loved the characters and the puppies. There was good clean dialogue. A cute entertaining holiday romance.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received via NetGalley. All views expressed are my honest opinion.
Have you ever made a quilt using vintage sheets?
I've seen some really pretty quilts made up and have fallen in love with them. Take a look at this one -
Vintage sheets are getting harder and harder to find in our area. Maybe everyone else is falling in love with these soft lovely oldies. My biggest problem is I hate to cut them up!September is Miles for Pillowcase Smiles . An easy way to put a dent in your fabric stash. The goal this year is 40,000 pillowcases. There are lots of local drop off locations. Won't you help?
