Author: Jane Rogers
Set in the future, Jessie Lamb is being held captive. We soon learn that something called MDS (Mother’s Death Syndrome) is killing all the pregnant women. But Jessie has a plan to do at least one thing to ensure the future of mankind.
This was a quick read and a fantastic storyline. It makes me wonder how the library picks the books for their collection.

When I moved my UFO’s from Powell River to Texada I found three of these ornaments that Mum had finished except for the back stitching.
I bought the 2017 ornaments from Michael’s when I was in Saskatoon. I couldn’t find a pattern for the ornaments so I had to figure out the stitching on my own. And it had to be done this year because the frames all had that “2017” charm.
I neglected to get photos of the other two – one went to each of my girls – but I’ve since received photos of them both.
Another pattern from that same magazine – and there are still two more things in it that I’d like to make.
Although not really a gift card holder, Emma received a gift card inside a sewing basket I gave her. Inside the sewing basket was this needle case – again done with English paper piecing.
The Guild did a demo one evening on how to make these cases. Anything with a zipper is a challenge for me and I can’t say the second one was any easier than the first!
At the time of the demo I thought Will might be able to use a case for his sunglasses because he wears contacts now. When I decided on gift cards for Alex and Will I made a second one (Mickey Mouse for Alex) and stuck their gift cards inside.
