This is one of the books included in Kathryn’s 2025 birthday bag. I saw the idea on Facebook and decided to pass it along. On her birthday Kathryn received a bag of books (second hand that I’ve pre-read) each wrapped in brown paper. The idea is that once a month (on her birthdate) she can pick a book to read. Each book includes a bookmark of some sort.

This was my September project for sewing with Stacia and Deloise. I picked a relatively easy one and I’m glad I did because by the time our stitching day arrived I had Covid and wasn’t feeling all that well. It took me two days to complete it, which isn’t that unusual for me.
I had a few of the four-patches in my scraps and lots of individual pieces (1.5″) cut. Although it was tedious joining them all together it was a quick finish once they were done. Again, I used a very simple straight line for the quilting.

I don’t know what I’ll do when I run out of these blocks from my abandoned mystery.
Author: Marilynne Robinson
This is the third book in the Gilead series and since I’m so far in I think I’ll go ahead and read the last one. Her writing style has differed from book to book; this one was more confusing than the others but it certainly filled in the background of the Rev. Ames’ young wife.
