I'm Back

Dear Friend,
I have not been too good lately...I need to stay on track and quit wasting time. So here I am, back with lots of things to say.

First-the Book Discussion selection-A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Yes I did download the audio version and enjoyed it so much, I am listening to it again. In fact, I highly recommend the audio over any movie version. It is my highly regarded opinion that very few movie scripts can ever do a good book justice, and so it is with this one.





Dickens paints such wonderful, live images with his words and makes me feel like I am right there in the room with the Scrooge and his visitors. I love seeing the knocker on the door as I he describes it, the detail descriptions of the noises, sounds and attire as he writes it.

If you are looking for something to put you in a Christmas spirit, I recommend a couple of hours with A Christmas Carol for starters.

Next on the list of catching up is a picture of the fall table runner I completed on Thanksgiving Day (just in time to put it away until next fall). It is from a Patrick Lose design-those are pumpkins on each end. I love the colors-What can I say, FALL. I have to pat myself on the back on this-my machine quilting is improving, but I have miles to go with that.

Now on to more projects.

I really wish I had time to make this. Isn't it beautiful! I think I'll order the pattern and just stare at it for a long time. If you love to applique and love this pattern too, this is where you can order it: bonbondesigns
Well, that is enough for now. Be back soon.
Love, Jan
