Inspire

 There is only one quilt shop left standing in our area. It's a little bit of a drive for me, but they have a wonderful selection and great samples.

Love the inspiration.

America 250 years

 I mentioned before that I wanted to make a quilt celebrating 250 America. After I found fabric at Michaels and a local quilt shop, this is what I ended up making.

It hasn't been quilted yet. And I may still try to work in the bottom section (I ran out of one of the fabrics). But we proudly displayed it on July 4th.

Falling Into Us

 

Falling Into Us is a sweet clean romance novel by Denise Hunter.

Gabby's mothers dying wish was for Gabby to deliver a letter to her estranged mother. Gabby had never met her grandmother, Rosemary, and was very resentful of how her mother was treated when she found herself pregnant. 

Widower Mason Morrison is a reporter. And a landlord. Gabby rents his cabin for two days to locate her grandmother in North Carolina. Things don't go exactly as planned. Mason wants to help Gabby find her grandmother. A trail that ends up taking weeks. And in that time, a sweet romance starts to bloom.

This book is a heartfelt and emotional story. The characters felt so real. Gabby's issues with trust. Mason's guilty feelings over the death of his wife. Peyton, Mason's daughter, is such a sweet addition, hungry for a woman's touch. The Morrison family welcomes Gabby into the fold, even though they did not really know her. Grandmother Rosemary's cheerfulness in her surrounding. This is definitely a book you will enjoy.

Family, compassion, forgiveness and a romance round out this clean story. As always Denise Hunter is a master at writing well rounded characters. Her stories never disappoint.
