At this rate, I might have my quilt finished by Christmas (but I probably shouldn't get toooooo ahead of myself). <br />I've not heard of Louise Penny, but I'll note it down to have a look if I can find any of her books through my library.

I started it, put it away and found it again recently when I did a great big sewing room tidy-up.

I saw Jen Kingwell's original quilt in real life, and took lots of photos, but I still haven't started my own version yet. Maybe one day. Thank you for linking up to the Peacock Party.

If you find a sewing space, the antics will certainly come to find you. I can be in the kitchen or around the house and nobody wants or needs anything, but the moment I sit comfortably on my chair to sew, everybody comes to ask questions or show me things. <br /><br />Yes I completely understand what you mean about the book being a memory with this quilt. You should definitely make this quilt. It really is a lot of fun and I'm learning patience, if nothing else ;-)<br /><br />Happy Stitching xxAnorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545554237461537096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-50083205837099650522019-08-26T11:11:35.919+10:002019-08-26T11:11:35.919+10:00Thank you so much.

It sounds heavenly.... but what about all of the antics that I cannot hear happening, like cats opening doors and letting thieves into the house, or hubby falling down the stairs... or maybe he just can't find his glasses. <br />:::nevermind:::<br />I love this quilt. It is a treasure, you know that. An absolute treasure. <br />This is what we are doing. making treasures. Well done Anorina. Now, when you look at this quilt, will you have memories of the thriller book. I kind of get that imprint in my head just listening to tv while sewing. but not usually. Usually the imprint in my mind is my present state of being. <br />I want to make this quilt now.
