Madison asked me for some coasters so I made a set of six. Deloise called them my Rainbow Coasters so I’m sticking with that.
Due to the postal strike I’ll be tucking them into my suitcase when I visit.
Coasters
Farmer’s Daughter Table Runner #2
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.
A Calamity of Souls
Author: David Baldacci
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.

The Kitchen House
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.
