Quilting with Jane Eyre

My love of Itunes University continues, I have found a section called Lit 2 Go from the University of Southern Florida where many of the classics in literature are in audio files.

I love to listen to the audio books while I sew. I have the web site on my ipad (a recent splurge for my birthday) but you can get to Itunes on your computer also. I am working on a Christmas wall hanging quilt called Stars Over Bethlehem a pattern from Stitches and Sew Forth.
A little piecing, a little applique, a little embroidery, this quilt has it all.
I have also been doing a little work on (drum roll please)
Roseville Album. I have had so many quilts I am working on for others I have not done an album block in a looooong time. This block is just prepped for machine applique, but it is a little progess none the less.

Have a good weekend all,

Cheri

What I have been reading

Just a quick post, I am packing for a quilt retreat this weekend with my best quilting buddies. In the last couple years we have stretched our weekend to a 4th day, I know, I know, the hardship, sewing and having fun with your friends for FOUR days.

I did want to share this wonderfully heartwarming book I just read, it is currently number one on the Amazon best seller list. Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. It is written by a pastor from a small town in Nebraska, my home state. He has an easy reading story telling style of small town life, but more importantly it is a good lesson on having the faith of a child, and that heaven is for real!

Happy weekend and Happy Stitching,

Cheri
