I didn't know where all the red came from except the novel set in Peru was exciting, like red; my living room colors are similar, which I just realized; and the cover of the book sports these exact colors. Granted there was the buzz of organizing the house (crafts people know about clearing paths), the arrival of a lively dog, gathering food and making the pumpkin bars...all added to my having gotten only 5 hours sleep, hoping not to reveal that I had made it only 3/4 the way through the dazzling novel which I plan to finish now.
Very clever! I cannot get over the unusual and appropriate fabrics you manage to locate! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteFrom the colors to the chairs & sofa to the cups, the journal quilt is perfect! It so fits your description and I LOVE the fabrics. What a treat for your group to see.
ReplyDeleteSo clever - I love the red - and your clever, mathmatical arranging. I don't think I had picked up on the name BOOKS N LAPS before reading this blog. A lot of fun to know that --- I will read this book after Christmas and am looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteOoops. I miscounted. There were only nine bookees! But then Paddy makes ten. Paddy was the unexpected dog who came w his owner. He usually visits the sick or infirm. I thought the backyard a happier spot for him than the car, but Farley wasn't so certain.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Just received in the mail a thank you note from Pattikins the black Lab. The extra chair rightfully records his presence.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know I always like red. The whole quilt was clever what with the chairs, tea cups and decor. I always like your latest quilt best. Goodd job!
