The Sunday Salon

By -

As I mentioned in an earlier post this has been a very busy week. My husband is recovering from a chest infection (thankyou to all who sent good wishes) and my father-in-law is in hospital following a stroke. Most of our time has been doing farm work and hospital visiting. However I did manage to finish a fantastic book,
'Kirkland Revels' by Victoria Holt. If you are looking for a gothic romance this book's for you. I loved it , although I had read it about 30 yrs. ago I'd forgotten the story . A real page turner.
So my next book is going to be from the same author, soon I'll be starting 'Shivering Sands' , another read from 30 yrs ago , I'm sure it will still captivate me.
Hope you all have a good week.

Amy's Quilt Festival.

Over at Amy's blog there is an online quilt festival starting today and running for a week. As I have only ever made one quilt I don't have a lot of choice but as no judging takes place I thought I'd participate. Apologies to those who have already read the details of the quilt in an earlier post but I need to chronicle the it's making for the festival. It was about 2-3 years in the planning , as I was such a coward I really didn't know where to begin. The idea for the quilt was a request from my youngest daughter and not wishing to disappoint I immediately agreed. The material was duly bought and about 2 squares were sewn and that was it for at least a year!!! Then last Autumn I visited a quilt exhibition and when talking to a very talented lady just had to mention about 'this' quilt . She was very reassuring and said' as long as you stick to your pattern all will be well'. A pattern, what pattern? There was no pattern, I believed I could make th

Teaser Tuesdays

The rules are, Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given! Please avoid spoilers! Here is my teaser, 'A few steps away, an apartment building had been finished inside the ruins of what looked like an ancient theater, with modern brick and glass windows above rows of arches, the 'lawn' a series of pieces of fallen marble and stone, some of it intricately carved, just lying around like so. A small sign in multiple languages warned passersby about taking a souvenir ruin or two.' from 'A Friday Night Knitting Club novel Knit Two', by Kate Jacobs. page 220. Can you guess which country this describes? More teasers here.

This is this week's discussion We’ve all seen the lists, we’ve all thought, “I should really read that someday,” but for all of us, there are still books on “The List” that we haven’t actually gotten around to reading. Even though we know they’re fabulous. Even though we know that we’ll like them. Or that we’ll learn from them. Or just that they’re supposed to be worthy. We just … haven’t gotten around to them yet. What’s the best book that YOU haven’t read yet? I think this week's discussion could be closely related to my last post concerning the Daily Telegraph article on reading habits. However as I have already 'casted my vote' in the 'Telegraph' poll I'll concentrate on books on my bookshelf that I intend to read one day. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver has been sitting on my shelf for years and it remains unread. There is no particular reason for it remaining so I just haven't picked it up, even though it has achieved numerous good r
