I learnt to do patchwork & quilting by signing up for a block of the month project that took you through all the basics. I really need to have a creative outlet.

One of my favourites. It's the first book that I felt really portrays slavery in a real and resonating way. And the theme of forgiveness was beautiful as well.<br /><br />Lovely quilt designs! I knit and cross stitch and have always wanted to quilt but just haven't tackled it yet!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-54573624630770243052018-01-09T21:22:52.447+11:002018-01-09T21:22:52.447+11:00Hi Sharon, I wonder if all his books have that kin...Hi Sharon, I wonder if all his books have that kind of ending. I suppose if you're reading about spying during the Cold War you have to expect that things usually don't end well.<br />All the best for 2018!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-19569910836393483352018-01-09T08:07:07.882+11:002018-01-09T08:07:07.882+11:00Those are some beautiful patchwork designs.

I liked it at the time although it has a yucky ending.<br /><br />I hope you have had a good new year and here's to more great reviews for 2018!Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-67855522653183665212018-01-06T13:14:09.627+11:002018-01-06T13:14:09.627+11:00Thank you, Silvia 🙂Thank you, Silvia 🙂Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-8318409956976477442018-01-06T13:13:34.777+11:002018-01-06T13:13:34.777+11:00Ruthiella, I’d be keen to read some more of his bo...Ruthiella, I’d be keen to read some more of his books. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is one I’ve heard of but I don’t know much else about the author & the sequence of his books.

My two older girls who don’t live at home complain they still cook in bulk. At least they have the advantage of eating leftovers for the rest of the week.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-41600598894868337832018-01-06T12:42:55.432+11:002018-01-06T12:42:55.432+11:00Thanks, Nancy.

That was something I used to do when younger, get hooked on one author. <br /><br />This was a hard post to read while hungry! I am not much of a cook but your cauliflower substitution has me wanting to try it.

Book suggestons
....I will...Wonderful post, Carol!<br />Book suggestons <br />....I will investigate and <br />love the 'white sauce' substitue. That is such a good idea!<br />I find it so refreshing to mix book reviews...with <br />my 'readings and thoughts' on other posts<br />Some of the best comments come into mind sporadically and I like to <br />capture them while reading poetry for instance!<br />Your patchwork is beautiful.NancyElinhttps://nancyelin.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
