Sew-cation - Week 2

There are no tales of glamorous spa visits of beach side meals, but it's been a good week.  The first finish of 2016 in the washing machine right now.  It's been quilted and bound and now it's being tidied up a bit.  Unfortunately there won't be a photo on the laundry line because we are having a mini blizzard at the moment.  I don't think the snow will amount to much, but it doesn't make for good photos.  This is the quilt that now in the "finished" pile.

This was taken, oh about a year ago.(Notice the snow) It's just the top here.  The pattern is by Blackberry Design (Love Letters) and the fabric is from long ago. My next top in the hoop will be the All Blue Austin Bluebird

I will be starting it just as soon as I'm done with this blog post.  We'll see how much I get done by the end of the month - that's when I'll be making 4 new quilts from new patterns.

While I was quilting on Love Letters, I listened to the latest Cormoran Strike novel - Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith.

Oh, I'm a fan.  This is the 3rd book in the series and J. K. Rowling (who uses the pen name Robert Galbraith for these books) says there will be at least 8 books in this series. I hope there are more.  Yes, that J. K. Rowling. If anyone likes audio books - these are very well done.  2 thimbles up!!!
