Cover to the book The It Girl by Ruth Ware.

Recent finish. Figured I would investigate the Ruth Ware enthusiasm. This was good. I might be losing my interest in mystery stories. Even so, I can say this is well-crafted with believable characters who have believable motives. And it's written clearly and edited well. #books #booksky #read

Despite liking The Martian, I only read this because it's this month's pick for a book club. I liked it a lot more than I expected to. In my opinion, we need more stories like this one about how cooperation is critical to success. #read #booksky

There s a narrow yellow border around the outside of the front of the quilt. The corner is turned back to show a red fabric with blue and white daisies and tiny yellow bees. It also includes cursive lettering that reads, "Busy bee at play all day."

It's not as much work as typical quilting, but using preprinted panels is fast. #quilt #quiltsky #sewing #sewsky

Image shows the book cover for The Wedding People by Alison Espach. Two hands stick up out of waves, one holds a bottle of wine, and the other holds up two fingers.

I saw The Wedding People mentioned here on Bluesky last week. It sounded interwoven, so I borrowed it from my library. I really enjoyed it. It's funny and heartwarming.

Thank you!

Quilt with "crumb" blocks made from random small pieces of fabric, alternating with squares of sky blue fabric with airplane motifs. There is a narrow red border and an even narrower strip of navy blue around the outer edge of the quilt.

This top has been on my shelf for over 10 years. It's finally quilted and ready to keep a child warm.
