World Without End

Books

Author: Follett, Ken

After reading a couple of tomes from this author I thought I was done but on our last trip to Texada I needed a book to read and this one was on the shelf. The technicality of reading the book was unique. I had the paperback edition but I didn’t want to carry such a large book with me on my trip so I downloaded it onto my iPad. Then I loaded Libby onto my phone so I could read while I waited on appointments. I always tried to finish reading at the end of a chapter so that I could synch the electronics with the paper. As it turned out I finished the book before we left.

I was into the story in the first couple of pages. It takes place 200 years after the first book in the Kingsbridge series so I didn’t need to remember much about the first book. Many of the names were familiar and one of the main characters Merthin is a builder; the love of his life seems unreachable after being accused of witchcraft and forced to become a nun. There are several despicable characters and I was so mad at them until they met their ends.

Happy Birthday Madison

Cards

April 10, 2026

Catherine (from Little Handfuls of Scraps by Edyta Sitar)

Again, being short of time, I pulled another project to send as Madison’s card. She is in a much larger space this year and I hope she can find a place for it. According to Canada Post this gift should make it on time for her birthday.

Happy Birthday Asher

Cards

Lidia (from Little Handfuls of Scraps by Edyta Sitar)

This is the first year I’ve sent Asher’s card anywhere other than “home”. I had no idea how long it would take to get to Edmonton and, with the Easter holidays, I’m afraid his card will also be late.

Because I was so short on time for card making I pulled one of my small projects off my display. I’m sure in his new apartment there will be room for it somewhere.

Frozen

Quilting

Elizabeth asked me if I had any Frozen fabric left from the quilt I made for Taylor. She looks after a friend’s daughter from time to time and Oceana loves Frozen. I dug into my stash and found a few fabrics; next I had to find a pattern that would be simple to make and that would suit the pieces of fabric I found.

As I had larger quantities of some of the fabrics I thought I might manage a 3-Yard quilt. Although I didn’t have enough fabric to make the quilt as large as the pattern, it turned out to be a nice size for a little girl.

I’m not sure why I had the Olaf fabric but there was more than enough to cover the back.

Elizabeth sent me a photo of the recipient.
