Cutting mat

 I was recently blessed with a large cutting mat. And I am loving it.]

I use the ping pong table for cutting, and this mat fit so perfectly. 

The plastic is a cover when I am using spray adhesive to make my quilt sandwich. It saves my back as I always did it on the floor before. Now it is all at table height. Thank you to my friend Jeanette for sharing the cutting mat. I have so enjoyed it.

A little frustrated

 Ok blogger has done it again. I noticed a couple of months ago how on every single post a comment is marked noreply comment. Both for those who comment and for ME too!  How can I fix this.

Easter project

 It's not too early to make an Easter tablerunner. 

My quilting buddies and I made these cute tablerunners. 

A project that I was able to make, quilt and bind in just one day.
The pattern is from Pat Sloan's book Holiday Celebrations. 
It's a fun and quick pattern for your Easter table.

Rescue on the Farm

 

Rescue on the Farm by Allie Pleiter is such a cute book.


Grant Emerson has come home on temporary leave from the police force in Billings. He wants to encourage his mom to sell the family farm. But Cay has different plans. She is set on opening a pet rescue with her two sisters.

Widow Meg Kittering lives next door with her two young girls. She is delighted that Cay wants to open a rescue. And would love to buy the farm one day. But she is strapped financially, with the debt that her late husband left her with.

Is there anything cuter than puppies and little girls? This story is so heartwarming. It is well written with humor and lessons we all need to learn about trusting God in all circumstances. I really enjoyed Grant and Megs story. A good clean romance.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received via NetGalley. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

Lap quilts

 Making lap quilts for the senior residents is my goal again this year. I enjoy making these simple lap quilts. They don't take a lot of thinking, which is sometimes a good thing. Kind of therapeutic. So this is the second top I've made.


I hope to make one a month. Last Christmas I delivered 10 lap quilts, so I need to step it up and make at least 12 altogether.
