Amarillo, Texas, Shared Photo and Book Review

I just returned from teaching at Quilted Bliss, a quilt shop  in Amarillo, Texas. You can find them at https://www.quiltedblissquiltshop.com . Candy, the owner, is a very welcoming and kind-hearted soul.  It was a pleasure spending time with her and her husband.  The first evening, our lecture was held in the tallest building in Amarillo, the Chase building, if I remember correctly.  And the views of Amarillo were fabulous.

This week also brought me an email from Riet Voogd.  She enlarged my Fiesta Mexico pattern and turned it into a bed quilt.  How cool is that?

BOOK REVIEW

I finished reading “The Snow Child” on my flight back from Amarillo.

11250053

 

It was rather unusual, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.  It takes place in Alaska during the 1920’s.  Jack and Mabel decide to make the move to Alaska after the loss of a child.  They need a new start.  Mabel is lonely and Jack is breaking his back starting their farm.  They are growing apart.  Faina, a child, comes into their hearts and home.  She enters their lives in a very unusual way.  You’ll need to read the book to find out more…..
