This evening I finished reading a wonderful novel by Jennifer Chiaverini which is part of the Elm Creek Quilts series. This one is titled “The Giving Quilt” and focuses on the lives of five very different ladies that love to quilt or want to learn. It’s also inspired by the “Project Linus” program which is a charitable organization dedicated to providing handmade blankets and quilts to children in need. I give this novel a five star rating but would first recommend you start with the first novel of the Elm Creek Series, The Quilter’s Apprentice”. Wonderful reading material and especially so if you love to read and quilt.

Hey lady,
Thank you so much for the nomination. I will work on it when I get home tonight if we don’t have storms again. Lightning seems to love to eat my computers so I don’t even have them plugged in during storm season. Your blog never ceases to amaze me and I love your posts. You make me really look forward to that season of our life called retirement. I have six years to go and I can’t wait!!

I have just been so busy I have not had time to get to this blogging award. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the nomination because I really do. I think I’m going to pass and hope you’ll forgive me. I’ll get caught up one of these days. In the meantime, I do enjoy your blog and look forward to your new posts.
Rita

It’s nice to have time to read. I read just before bed and sometimes I don’t get to as I fall asleep on the first paragraph!

I do the same and now I try to drown out the tv from my recliner while hubby watches. My favorite is when the spring is warmer and I can go to the gazebo or on the pond in my paddle boat.
