quick post to show the progress on "pervenche"....altho it doesn't look french at all so it has a new name...."tuscan starburst"...got 2 blocks done so far....have to say they don't take too long to sew, even by hand...
the jury is still out on the blue toile...i don't think that's the right fabric for those setting pieces...will wait until all blocks are done and then audition several to see what works better....
if you love a good mystery, i can strongly recommend louise penny....this is her latest and 18th in the "three pines" series and hands down, the very best in my opinion.
Those new blocks look interesting! Hope you feel better soon. LP is one of my favourite authors and I have that book but will keep it for the cottage will be happening in a few months.
ReplyDeleteLouise Penny is wonderful! I'm in line for the audiobook though the hardcover copy is on the "finished" stack in the living room. What an intricate block! I recognized your blocks as a Quiltmania pattern even before I went back to see your previous post. They are beauties.
ReplyDeletethanks nann! i've got a few more socked away too!
DeleteI have recently been introduced to Louise Penny, her first three in the Three Pines series are on there way to my house.
ReplyDeleteyou will be hooked...i purposely avoided the amazon series as i didn't imagine alfred molina as gamache...
DeleteYour blocks look great. Your new name does suit it better. I haven’t heard of that author. I’ll have to look her up.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great and you're right, not very French.
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteCan't believe how quickly you put those blocks together. They look great. Will watch with interest to see what you decide to use as the background.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with that author, but I agree with the criteria you list for a good whodunit.
Your starbursts are GORGEOUS. I've made a note of this book title. My husband and I are going to see A Man called Otto tomorrow, I hope it doesn't disappoint because I loved the book! I pray that you're feeling much better now, my friend.
ReplyDeletecan usually count on a tom hanks movie...he or his agent choose pretty good projects...
