The giveaway is now closed. Thanks for entering.
My it’s been a long time….. but I have been busy. With what? Well….
I finished up my additions to blocks for the Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin and for the Quilt U Be Mine Round Robin and sent them on their way. I can’t show them to you but them involved some of this….
I created these two blocks for Julie in the 6 Inch Block Swap. She wanted grey, orange and white.
I finished the binding on this quilt. A nice tumble in the washer and it will be ready for gifting. It is for my ex-boss who retired at the beginning of November.
And I decide to play along with Bonnie Hunter for her latest mystery quilt “Easy Street”. She is already on to step three but I’m still working on step one.
Today I made some shortbread cookies. DH has decided that we should stop eating wheat after reading the Wheat Belly book and I’m willing to try it out because I think wheat is largely the culprit behind my reflux problem. These shortbreads are made with rice flour and are quite delicious. The recipe came from Andra Banting’s blog The Brighter Side of Gluten Free. I’m going to try a wheat free Christmas cake as well. The fruit is soaking in the whiskey as we speak.
And we had visitors today. They arrived around 1 p.m., ate a bunch of fireweed and willow sticks then proceeded to bed down behind our sauna. They didn’t leave until around 9 p.m. DD # 3 was visiting with her two dogs so they and Zeke had to stay in the house most of the day. And yes, she was eating sunflower seeds out of my bird feeder!
Someone had told me that there was a rumour one of the calves had been killed by wolves, but they were both with her.
And now for the giveaway. Quilting Gallery is having their yearly blog hop party with giveaways. This year they celebrate their 5th anniversary! I am giving away one yard of this fabric. The blocks are 3 inches square and repeat every fourth square each direction. It is very cute.
The giveaway is open to anyone in the world. It will close on December 16th at 1 a.m. PST and I will draw the winner sometime later that day.
1. Leave me a comment suggesting a book I should read. I like mystery, true life adventure, historical novels, biography, older fiction and any new fiction that doesn’t just follow a formula plot.
2. Followers can leave a second comment for a second entry.

The Help, and some authors: Ian Rankin, Lily Brett, Peter Ackroyd ... You can always try using spelt - it has a bit of a richer taste, but has the same characteristics as wheat - BUT because it has a more complicated wrapping than wheat grains, so it's more complicated to get the single grains out it's still quite the basic form of the plant, and not some over-bred (do you say breeding if you create new plant varieties by crossing them?) anyway, spelt is a pretty neglected grain, and people with only slight problems with gluten sometimes can eat spelt. [I'm ending the excursion into grains now, there are of course a lot more to choose from, though it'S not alwasy easy to get hold of them, and most just don't have the same characteristics when it comes to using them for abking etc.]
ReplyDeleteHow fun Janet.... some lovely stitching and so great to read about your visitors.... the fabric looks great so of course I would like to enter.... we have an australian mystery series which is quite fun.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phryne_Fisher
ReplyDeleteset in the 1920's.... of course it would also provide a bit of Aus history....

I'm following
ReplyDeleteand jsut in case - the latin name for spelt: "Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta" as my dictionary als translates it as simply being the outer shell of the grains ...
Nice blocks, Janet! Cute fabric, too, for the giveaway. I really can't recommend any reading for you. I just read what some refer to "airplane fiction"... or "no- brainers", I guess. When I read I just want to escape my daily routine. ;)
ReplyDeleteI read a total mish mash of styles but love crafting books. My current favourite is Craft by Kirstie Alllsop published by Hodder & Stoughton, I bought it from Amazon. It covers a wide range of crafts and I have cherry picked through it, however I am going to try all of them.
ReplyDeleteI am now following by e mail. I spotted on a giveaway comment that you are stocking 2 1/2 inch squares, I have cut stacks of these for a project next year and have a pile of doubles and odd bits that are in a "spares" box, if you would like to give some of them a new home email your postal address and i will gladly send some your way.
ReplyDeleteBy far, the best fiction I have read in a long time is "the Distant Hours" by Kate Morton. This past weekend I read an Australian biography called "Head over Heels" by Sam and Jenny Bailey -- very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThe best book I've read recently was "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton. Hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Follower and I love your Give-Away fabric! Thank you, in advance!
ReplyDeleteOH, now I have to check your comments every day so I can get more book hints. I just finished the last book in the William Monk series written by Anne Perry. Her stories take place in Victorian England and are good mysteries that suck you in and keep you reading to the very last paragraph. I'm glad all is well across the frozen pond from here.
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered Anita Shreve! I'm reading 'Fortunes Rocks' at the moment

ReplyDelete"Lincoln at Cooper Union" by Harold Holzer. **Fabulous** read if you like biographies or Lincoln. :D I'm also enjoying the Victorian mystery series by husband/wife team, Robin Paige.

Janet - have you read Traveling With Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor? It's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. Where do you live? We live in the Idaho mountains and regularly have elk visiting in herds (followed by the wolves, of course).

Happy Christmas!
I'm a follower, too, eh? lol!
ReplyDeleteA Tree Grows in Brooklyn or The Virgin Cure are both good books!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite books are the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Start at Outlander, and read them in order. The series will keep you occupied through a long, northern winter! There are 7 books so far, each at least 800 pages long, but they are page-turners!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read mysteries in a while. Have you read agatha christie? or hugh pentecost? both are great authors.
ReplyDeleteAnything by Kate Morton. The Distant Hours is a nail biter!

ReplyDeleteThe Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart she is one of my favorite writers.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteI loved the picture of your moose and the fabric is fantastic. I made my dad an animal quilt last year and it would have been a perfect border for it ..
There are lots of great authors out there these days- if you like Mystery - then Iris Johansen or the Catherine Coulter FBI Series with Dylan Savich and Sherlock his wife. I loved Tatiana de Rosnay's Sarah's Key and of course The Help. I also really liked Julie Klassen's work. There are just so many great books out there to read.. hope you find something that appeals.
Thanks for participating in the blog hop.
Regards from Alberta,
Anna
The 19th wife is fantastic - historical fiction and modern day mystery all in one. It's two different stories that ate inexorably linked... Happy reading! And check out www.goodreads.com - a wealth of book recommendations based on the books you read/want to read.

ReplyDeleteMy book suggestion is " Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society" written by Mary Ann Shaffer, after her untimely death her neice nnie Barrows edited it and had it published. It is an epistolary novel about a female newspaper columnist who travels to Guernsey Island, after she begins to correspond with one of the residents there. Some people broke curfew when German Forces ossupied their Island, and they invented the title as an alibi. Captivating, human, with joy and sadness woven though.I could read it over and over again. I hope you get to read it too. Greetings from Jean
ReplyDeleteI follow too. Greetings from Jean
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is the Bible. Maybe start with the Psalms. So rewarding and comforting. This is a wonderful giveaway and being married to an outdoorsman, my hubby would love it too.

There is mystery, intrigue, humour...
Good luck with your Caribou residents.... x J x
