I like the idea of a free table, but I'm sort of glad I'm not in a guild when I hear such a thing, because it might lead to even more unfinished projects :-). I have this rule when buying fabrics that "coupons don't count", which is becoming a bit dangerous ... Today I was home with a virus and in between naps I started some "works in progress" pages on my blog. It was surprising how many projects I have going on ... but it's nice to have an overview. My blog isn't read by anyone but the occasional passer-by, but it's very dear to me, because it's like a dairy. The stroy is about what I make, but it also takes me back to different periods in my life when I look back at old posts.Sara en Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933081635835722346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-11602642266232532332018-06-19T17:12:24.402-04:002018-06-19T17:12:24.402-04:00Life of Pi.

Not a gory murder, but a little gentle whodunnit. I find this last month I have been reading more and quilting less. Maybe audio books are the way to go for me too. helenjean@midgetgemquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005403786619091105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-75079796794180489192018-06-18T12:59:01.665-04:002018-06-18T12:59:01.665-04:00Kim,

I read the book before quilting took over my spare time, likely after eating a delicious meal sent across the street by my amazing hindu neighbours. If we're not all the same, it's because we fall short of being the best we're meant to be. So, today it's time for me to do a good turn.laughing gas quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620402314072197845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-25068517292200571752018-06-15T01:50:39.934-04:002018-06-15T01:50:39.934-04:00Really a beautiful baby quilt, I love this pattern...Really a beautiful baby quilt, I love this pattern!

I can see that I need to read Life of Pi. I didn’t see the movie, so I haven’t been spoiled for the book. I haven’t tried audio books. I like to read in bed—but it takes forever to get through a book that way.

I just figured you were inspired to make it by the book! Your photos are so pretty - and the quilt is lovely! It's amazing how you took fabric from many sources and made something beautiful! <br /><br />By the way, I love audio books as well! Our local library makes free audiobooks, ebooks and magazines available on the app: RB Digital. I've read that other libraries are doing the same! Yea! Free works for me! <br /><br />Happy sewing and reading!Miaisminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657955150576729566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-14289119339227206172018-06-11T20:09:48.249-04:002018-06-11T20:09:48.249-04:00It's a great quilt.
