National Sewing Month

 

National Sewing Month runs from September 1st to the 30th. Do you have big sewing projects in mind? Where will you start? I'm hoping to get Christmas projects finished. What about you?

Happy Quilting!

Checkerboard quilt

 Wow, making this quilt was a challenge. 

Trying to match all the points was not easy.

I don't think I will be making another one for a while.

Bob Newhart - a biography

 

"Bob Newhart, The Life and Laughter of an American Treasure" by Michael Seth Starr is an informative book about the life of Bob Newhart.

I remember both series, The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart, were very entertaining. Starr takes it further in researching how Newhart started in show business. In 60 years Newhart was a recording artist, television celebrity and in movies. While also touring the country making appearances in nightclubs, colleges and Las Vegas. Newhart had a formative career, playing the straight man and getting laughs from his pauses in conversations.  He could hold a moment and make you laugh just from his facial expressions.

The book is a comprehensive overview of a successful life long career. The book is well worth reading. Especially if you were a fan of Newhart, who passed away in 2024 at the age of 95. Leaving a legacy of stand up comedy.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Net Galley and the publisher. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

Antique quilts

We recently visited several antique malls and I was surprised to see so many quilts on display.

And finally this little gem.

It was fun to scout out these old quilts.

Checkerboard

 Thanks to my techy son, I am navigating the new phone. So many different options. It's hard for me to grasp a lot of the new technology.  Including downloading pictures to my computer. But..... here is my progress on the checkerboard quilt.
