This is the second project made from left-over blocks from a Cake Mix Recipe that Deloise gave me. The fabric comes from the Farmer’s Daughter line by Moda.
I may be coming to like this paper-doll backing fabric.
The actual quilt from this Recipe is sandwiched and up next for quilting.

This book came to me from a fellow quilter. I’ve read the author before so I expected it would be a good one.
The story is set in Virginia in 1968. Emancipation laws have been enacted but they have yet to be fully accepted by the common people. Jack Lee is a small town lawyer who has never tried a murder case. When the maid from the house down the street asks him to defend her grandson-in-law he accepts, knowing it will be a difficult battle for a white lawyer to defend a black man. When Desiree DuBose steps in, a black lawyer with a lot of experience in defending against racism, the two take on the case together.

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.
