New arrivals

 I love receiving mail from the Fat Quarter Shop. Their service is quick and always filled correctly. Here is what I ordered recently.

I love the Jolly Bars. They are really fun to make up, and there's such a great selection. My order actually came in a day earlier than what was expected :-)

And of course I am signed up for the Sew Sampler box, and that's like getting a Christmas present every month. 

I love seeing the new fabric lines, which so far have been included. Nearly all of our quilt shops have closed and the ones that remain open often don't have the newer lines of fabric. 

I hope you have a great weekend. And Happy Quilting!

Meet Me at the Starlight

 


Meet Me at the Starlight is another well written book by Rachel Hauck.

Tuesday Knight was an unwanted child of a 16 year old unwed mother. She was taken in by Prince Blue who built the Starlight, a skating rink.  He left it in her care but now the city wants to demolish it to make way for progress.

Fashion model Harlow Hayes has a broken heart and is eating her way through her sorrow. Hometown boy Matt Knight has made it big in Hollywood, but is racked by guilt after he ruins his best friends life.

Sea Blue Beach, in the Florida panhandle. is the haven they return to. Matt and Harlow set out to help his granny, Tuesday, save the Starlight from demolition. There is flashback to Tuesday's marriage to LeRoy, sons LJ, and Dupree and the Starlight. 

Characters are well written, giving them depth. A story about second chances and redemption. The duel time novel is compelling, as the characters in both time periods draws you in to their story. A good clean story, very engaging. 

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

New project

 Working on a new project. 


A panel I bought several years ago. I have been wanting to complete it to take with me when we visit some friends at the end of the month. I will keep you posted on the progress :-) 

Happy Quilting!

The grands

 Grandkids are off from school. So they  had a good time playing in my yard with a water sprinkler.

Ah, summer. And the fun things we get to do with grandkids.

May Sew Sampler

 I was so excited to receive the May Sew Sampler box.

It's just like getting a present every month.

A new line of fabric (jelly roll), and pattern. I have been wanting to try Flatter spray starch, so this is a good way to try it. And an endurance blade for my Olfa rotary cutter. Yay!
