The Story of Edgar Sawtelle


This book is fantastic. I loved it so much, I listened to it on my iPod, and now I am going to buy the book and read it the old-fashioned way. If you love to read great novels, you will love this one.
Today my friend Anne and I went to Ellerslie, Georgia, to an English paper-piecing class and tea party at Sunday Best Quilt Works. It was a lot of fun. They have a nice little quilt shop there and it was my first visit to their shop. I was so disappointed to find that their block of the month quilt was sold out!!! I have now started a tiny tumbling blocks quilt. I have been wanting to try English paper piecing. This should be fun. :-D

I like to read, so may be next time I can try to find this book somewhere. At the moment I'm reading "Wedding Ring" by Emelie Richards.
I look forward to see your thumbling blocks quilt.
