Have you read any of the books in the Cobbled Court series?
I just finished the third book and so far have enjoyed them. The series is by
Marie Bostwick. I believe she is up to number five in the series. The series
focuses on a woman who must begin anew after her husband of many years leaves
her for a younger woman. The stories take place in a quilt shop in a small
community. The first book dealt with breast cancer and the second book with
spousal abuse, both pretty heavy topics. The third book focused on marriage and
a woman’s choices in life. In spite of their more serious nature, they are a
pretty quick read.
In addition to reading, I’ve been making up a couple of
things for my little three year old granddaughter. She is currently smitten
with the Berenstain Bears so I bought some fabric featuring them and made a
pillowcase she can use while she is “reading” their stories. I used the
instructions from American Patchwork & Quilting which can be found here. I liked
their method because you end up with seams that won’t fray.
My last post showed our EGA chapter teaching teens
embroidery while making a jean pocket purse. I made one for my granddaughter
using the colors she chose. It worked up very quickly and is a fun project to
do.
I also continued work on my sampler. The outside border is
complete!
This weekend I will be on a two day bus shop hop trip. It is
the annual Minnesota Statewide Quilt Shop Hop. My friend and I will visit
eleven shops in two days, but more on that later!
