Working Wednesday
I've been plugging away at finishing Bonnie's mystery blocks.
I've completed 4 already - can't believe how easy these are with all the bits already made.
It's funny how those are 4 completely different yellows but in this washed out morning picture they almost appear the same.
This will be the next block. I'm trying to get at least one block done a night which means I might have the blocks done by this weekend. And then it will be on to sashing.
I've probably got enough bits to make 3 more blocks. I'll need to finish up the bits that I've made and lay them out to see if I need to make more blocks. Remember, I'm only aiming for lap size.
And while I was working on the mystery blocks I needed some leaderEnders so I resurrected my Puss in the Corner blocks. These are made with 2.5" blocks but can be made in any size - 2.5" blocks just happen to be an easy size to cut when I am trimming my scraps down into 1.5/2/2.5" strips. Check out my tutorial if you would like to make some with your own scraps. Or send me your scraps and I'll make even more. LOL! I think I have around a 100 blocks already but I'm going to need a ton more...

The Bibliophile Files - 1/3/17
Hello and welcome to my monthly book report - The Bibliophile Files!!!I'm happy to say I surpassed my 2016 goal of 84 books and finished 90!!! Whoo Hoo!! I always set the next year's goal the same as what I finished the last year and while I've been tracking for maybe 8 years now, it's gone up every year. No idea how long I'll be able to keep up that upward trend...
How did you do last year? Did you read as much as you wanted? I got lazy this fall and didn't walk as much as I had hoped so I wasn't listening to as many audiobooks as I had hoped either. Today being a new (back to work) year, I went walking this morning and fired up a new book. Yeah me!
As always, click the book title link to it's goodreads.com page for more info on the book.
FINISHED -
Among the Wicked
The Woman in Cabin 10
Courting Trouble
A Seaside Christmas

IN PROGRESS -

And now it's your turn -- what books did you read in the last month? Remember - anything and everything counts - novel, magazine, quilt book, cereal box!
