I may have to stop taking recommendations from my Facebook group – another story about senior citizens.
The characters in the book live in a retirement village. They come from different backgrounds but one of the original members was a retired police officer so the group are reviewing some of her unsolved cases. Two new murders in the space of a few days has the group trying to solve the mysteries. But are they helping the police or hindering them?

Look what happened while we were away!
The bulbs are up in two more of the containers, not counting the new garlic planting.

A couple of years ago I made small blocks that fit under Kathryn’s glass cutting board – one for each month. I thought perhaps she was ready for a new one so her card is a bit larger than most.
The pink fabric came from Diane and I quilted it with my standard stars in the squares. It wasn’t until I was showing it off that I realized on two of the squares I had missed the final points. Fortunately it was an easy fix.

I made no resolutions last year and it turned out okay, and there was nothing to feel guilty about at the end of the year. I spent some time in the last days of 2023 to inventory most, not all, of the projects that I really would like to get done. Some have been started and I’d like to get them finished but some are just wishful thinking.
I’ll take part again in the monthly UFO quilting challenge. My chart last year showed three sections – piecing, quilting, and scrappy. As I look at the list from last year there were only 12 items that either disappeared from the list entirely (because they were finished) or moved forward to another list. I think this year I will stick to only one list but hope that each month I can accomplish a little more than the one item.
I have plenty of items to choose from but these are the ones that will go on my UFO chart. I look forward every month to see what my project will be.
