Happy Birthday Audrey

May 17, 2026

I was short on time to get these last April cards done and ready for the mail. I picked one of my already-completed flowers for this card and then tried something different to put it together.

I used a fold-over backing to replace the usual binding I put on cards. Not exactly proud of it but at least I know now it isn’t what I want to do going forward.

All the rushing and I don’t think it made it in time for Audrey’s birthday.

Happy Birthday Jody

Nosegay (July 21 from Quilter’s Block-a-Day calendar)

We’ll celebrate with Jody a number of times when we are in Saskatoon. We’ll be home though by the time her birthday arrives.

Happy Birthday Ken

Thrifty (July 30 from Quilter’s Block-a-Day Calendar)

We’ll be celebrating with Ken a few days prior to his 80th birthday.

I based my fabrics on the name of this block; everything was taken from my scrap bins.

A Column of Fire

Author: Follett, Ken

On our Saskatchewan trip the book I planned to continue reading was finished before we left and I didn’t want to take a “real” book with me so I downloaded the last book of the Kingsbridge series.

Two centuries have passed since the end of the previous story and the links to the characters from the first two novels are mentioned but not obvious. I wasn’t very familiar with the history of this time period – the tensions between the Protestants and the Catholics in England, France and Spain.

This was my least favourite book of the series but there were still plenty of characters to like and dislike.
