Today's Progress
While Anna is downstairs cleaning, I am in my sewing room getting what feels like lots done. I resewed the block that I made the boo boo with during my last sewing session. Then I made the Postage Stamp block for the same sampler quilt.
Lori Holt, author of Farm Girl Vintage, the book from which I'm making my sampler quilt, calls this block "Welcome Block." But I have always known it as "Weather Vane," and that's what I'm calling it. So if the quilt police get me, please someone bring me some bail--in the form of fat quarters and new
rotary cutter blades, please.
I also made the "Postage Stamp" block for the sampler quilt this morning. It was really quick, since I already had a little basket of 2 1/2-inch squares cut out, from which I collected all the pieces for this block.
I started another book, Night Sister by Jennifer Mcmahon, last night, and I can't wait to get back to it. It's my favorite kind of book--a thriller will a hint of spookiness to it. She also wrote Winter People, which I read a year or so ago. You can find both books on Amazon. (I was going to embed links to them, but my computer isn't cooperating to let me do that.)
Since Anna is still working away downstairs, I think I might have time to make one more sampler block. Bye for now.

Love your newly made blocks and cheers that Anna's presence gives you a good reason to be in your lovely sewing room!
Did you get a 3rd block made?
Hugs!

So thrilled that you enjoyed reading Jennifer Mcmahon. I loved both books. There are a few more which were also good. I call that block weather vane,also. The old names just seem right.

I just noticed your review of the book "Summer Lightening" by Judith Richards. I LOVE THAT BOOK. I always imagined Henry Fonda playing the role of McCree, and then after he died I visualized Paul Newman playing that role. I loaned my first copy of that book to someone who promised to return it but he never did, so he went on my &*(% list. Years later, I bought a signed copy in the author's home town. I also highly recommend this book. Glad I found somebody else who loved it too.
