Love on a Whim
Love on a Whim by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a delightful story in the Cape Cod Creamery series.
Brynn Haywood makes a impulsive decision to marry a man she has only know for 24 hours. She panics and heads to Cape Cod to figure out what she has done. Her best friend Dawn Dixon, feeling she knows what is best for her friend, is determined to help her out of the mess she has made for herself. All while making preparations for the wedding of Dawn's mother Marnie's boyfriends daughter. The plans are gruesome, with the mother of the bride making constant changes. And Lincoln's son, Bear, shows up, angry and hostile towards Dawn's family.
This is the third in the Cape Cod Creamery series, but can be read as a single story. It centers on family, forgiveness and self-discovery. The story is well written and the characters are interesting and well developed. This is clean, enjoyable and faith based. If you haven't read any of Miss Fisher's other books, you definitely should.
I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Memorial Day
"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.
I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. "
~Benjamin Harrison
In memory and honor of those who have fought and died to keep our country free.

Off the Cuff
Several years ago I bought this book.
There are several really cute pincushion patterns and lots of creative ideas.But truthfully, this is the one that caught my attention.
I had this idea if you use men's shirts for making quilt blocks, wouldn't it be cool to cut off the cuffs and make pincushions??So, I bought a mans shirt for $1.00 from the thrift store and gave it a try.
Isn't he cute?? I did not follow the exact directions given in the book, but just did my own thing. And I still think he turned out cute :-) The ears are flower buttons.
How about you? Do you ever go out of your comfort zone? Let's be creative today and make something outside of the box!

Perfect match
Remember when I shared a shortcut to making half square triangles? Well I pieced them all together and found some matching fabric for a nice border.
The green fabric matched perfectly with the leaves on the fabric.
That is another charity quilt for the nursing home project for Christmas. Yay!
