Bookish Journal Update ~ Sew & Tell - 10/12/26

Over the weeks of travel and since our return I logged many hours of reading and listening to books.  I had eight completed books and needed eight blocks.  It as a nice break from the quilting of Lala's Irish Chain quilt.

Before I show off my blocks and offer up my thoughts and reviews, let's take a look at this week's randomly selected Sew & Tell feature.  Melisa at Pinker 'n' Punkin Quilting always has some great seasonal decor and cross-stitch patterns in addition to her quilting projects.  She has a couple houses under construction and a squirrel infestation!  She also shared her progress on Lala's Scrappy Irish Chain.  Be sure to make a visit to her blog to see the other house and squirrel. ;)

I've only had one person join the Quilt Parade so far.  The party was supposed to close October 1 for the opportunity to win a prize.  Thanks and congratulations to Terry! Since I myself am not done quilting I am leaving the party open for a week or so more.  I'll figure out a special something for Terry since she was the only one to meet my original cut-off date.  Remember that only a finished top needs to be linked for the give-away.

Now, back to my Bookish Journal Quilt update... First up was a slow read, The View from the Lighthouse was a light-hearted, Christian fiction mystery.  It was a perfect read for a few minutes before turning out the lights at the end of the day.

The Invention of Wings was our first listen as we set out on the road for our vacation.

A powerful, sweeping novel, inspired by real events, and set in the American Deep South in the nineteenth century, The Invention of Wings evokes a world of shocking contrasts, of beauty and ugliness, of righteous people living daily with cruelty they fail to recognize; and celebrates the power of friendship and sisterhood against all the odds.

I especially enjoyed it because of the mention of quilts and the symbolism used in them.

Before We Were Yours was a repeat listen for me (3rd time).  

Based on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals—in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country—Lisa Wingate’s riveting, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong.

I had to answer questions for Dave several times along the way as he was confused about the different names of the children.  I bear in mind that he was focused on the road and he wasn't feeling well with the sinus infection/hurting tooth.  Plus, it was just a lot to absorb and process and the exact reason I listened a second time to begin with.

Betsy Zane is a children's historical fiction that was a good nighty-night read.  In 1782, 13-year-old Betsy Zane’s bored with trying to act like a lady and being cooped up with her great-aunt. Her heart and soul yearn for the freedom of living with her brothers at the family homestead along the Ohio River.

When her great-aunt dies, Betsy leaves Philadelphia and returns to her home in the western wilderness. But it’s not easy for a young lady to find freedom on the frontier. Her brothers, and even a dashing young soldier, have other ideas about ladylike behavior. Little does anyone know that this young lady will soon risk her life in the final battle of the American Revolution.

Every Breath was a repeat listen for me.  Dave and I both enjoy Nicholas Sparks and his romantic stories.  I listened to this one earlier this year.  You can read my thoughts here.  I am a sucker for a happily ever after. 💖

Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas was one I enjoyed after we returned home.  I especially enjoyed this book because it was set in the area/valley that I grew up.  My hometown was even a small part of the story.  

During World War II, a family finds life turned upside-down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes turn to the newcomers. Rennie has just turned thirteen, and until this time, life has been predictable and fair. But the winds of change are coming and with them, a shift in her perspective and a discovery of secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things. Part thriller, part historical novel, Tallgrass is a riveting exploration of the darkest—and best—parts of the human heart.

Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan was a charming and entertaining rom-com book telling the story of Dolly Brick, a 39-year-old single mom who returns to her Rhode Island hometown to save her family’s home, only to strike a summer-long fake dating deal with wealthy heir Stewart Whitfield—sparking unexpected bonds amid seaside charm and class divides.

It was strangely familiar to me and then I remembered that I had listened to Nora Goes Off Script in August, also by Monaghan.

Destination Unknown was a young adult book that addresses the tug-of-war that can happen when a soon-to-be HS graduate is reaching for their independence and the parents aren't quite ready to let go.  I had started this book while on the road but turned it off when I heard the narrator and the childish tone that was used for one of the characters.  It was less annoying to me after we returned home. LOL!

As a quick change of pace from outline quilting the 925 two-inch squares in Lala's Irish Chain quilt, I gathered a few scraps from the Safari Quilt kit from Connecting Threads and the brand-new pair of 501 Levi jeans I found at a Goodwill and added a scrappy cuff to add the needed length and a cute fashionable accent.

I've had a long enough break from the sewing machine... I need to get back at it!  But before you go, tell me...

What do you do when you take a break from a big project?

Little Lala ~ Sew & Tell - 8/31/26

We stand at the cusp on the end of another month!  The "ber" months are around the corner, and it seems that many in the northern hemisphere are ready for the change in the calendar and the change of the seasons... a new chapter of sorts.

Which brings to my mind my Bookish Journal Quilt.  While I've continued enjoying the audio books, the disruption in life had prevented me from spending much time in the studio... and the precious time spent there was focused on finishing my Little Lala Irish Chain Quilt.  But I'll hold those thoughts until after this week's randomly Sew & Tell feature...

Vicki at Vicki's Crafts and Quilting shared two scrappy finishes but this one in particular captured my attention.

The scrappy plaids in a non-traditionally sized block offset with the ivory background is very appealing to me.  

I get a masculine vibe as I look at it, and I imagine that it will have a very soft feel to it.

Some quilters may get hung up on the challenge of having the plaids appear perfectly straight and square... I, however, am not intimidated. ;)  It adds to the charm.  I have added this quilt design to my file of "to be made" quilts and already think that a flannel backing would be ideal!

It would be a good pattern for another jelly roll project. ;)  Be sure to stop over to see the other finish that Vicki shared. 

Life in the house with a basement in chaos... continued.  We had two guys show up on Tuesday and Wednesday for a few hours each day.  They were here "in between" jobs as they waited for parts to arrive for the other jobs.  

We have the condenser unit in place outside and the wiring ready to hook up.  The furnace is in place with the cold air return attached and one major trunk of the duct work in place.  We anticipate their return next week... though we have no idea when. :(  But when they do return it shouldn't take much longer to have the job completed.  Woohoo!

As I stated earlier, I finished my Little Lala Irish Chain Quilt and am so happy with it.  I am glad that I made it so that I could practice the quilting design on it.  The outlining of the patchwork was straight-line quilting, but without the walking foot.  I treated it as ruler work... without the ruler.  FMQ the short distances from corner to corner was easy.  Follow the link above to see the video that shows how I did it.

I did figure out that I should have quilted the outline of the setting squares first.  Not a major problem, but after examining Lala's original quilt, I saw that quilting of the patchwork blocks never touched the stitches of the setting squares.  I needed to do a little bit of removing stitches to achieve the same look as the original.  The latest post of the sew along can be found here... this week we are sewing the blocks together to assemble the top, ready for borders.

I am now ready to begin quilting my larger quilt when I get some Aurifil thread... I tried some others, but it just was not working out to.my satisfaction. :)  So, before starting that I thought I would catch up on the 9-patch blocks for the Booking Journal Quilt.

I listened to seven books throughout the month:

One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus

The Unselected Journals of Emm M. Lion by Beth Brower

The Star Garden by Nancy E. Turner

Sunflower Sisters by Martha Hall Kelly

Between Your Heart and Mine by Buck Turner

The Vengeance of Mothers by Jim Fergus

Finding Our Forever by Brenda Novak

I didn't offer a summary on all of them yet... Link provided for those I did summarize.

The Star Garden was the third of a series.  I've not read or listened to the previous two and don't feel as though I missed anything important to this book.  The diary entries of a pioneer woman tell of Sarah's story as she struggles to make a home in the Arizona Territory during the early 1900s.  I particularly enjoyed it because I am familiar with the location and the college campus in Tucson where Sarah was able to pursue a higher education.

Between Your Heart and Mine was a short romance of two people that loved, lost and then found love again.  I enjoyed the evidence of healing that occurred in the story.  I'm a hopeless romantic, what can I say? ;)  I would consider borrowing more books by Buck Turner.

The Vengeance of Mothers was the sequel to One Thousand White Women.  The story continued with a new group of women that arrived to be married to the Indians.  In all honesty, I didn't find it drawing my attention and I didn't make it all the way to the end of the story before my loan period was up... I had less than 90 minutes left.  I'll call it done anyway.

Finding Our Forever by Brenda Novak is a harlequin romance.  I've read two other books by her and enjoy her storylines that include adoptions in some manner or another.  I skip the Rated R sections... they really don't offer anything to the story.

Now that I'm "caught up" I can offer more attention to Lala's Irish Chain and the final stories to be included with the sew along.  I so deeply appreciate each one of you as you embrace the stories I share.  I feel like each of you could be an honorary member of the Teegarden family!  I've loved the questions and the interest in both the sew along AND the stories.  Thanks for the encouragement and support!

Encouragement is so easy to offer and give... It can be a simple smile, a quick phone call or text message or email to someone that has been on your mind or a hand-written note.  Snail mail is one of my favorite ways to receive encouragement.

When was the last time you received a meaningful piece of mail?

Have you mailed anything lately?

Goodness, the cost of postage is crazy, but I still like sending postcards and notes in the mail.

The most recent item I've had in the mail was a Roxanne thimble that was sent by a fellow quilter in a fb group.  She had been given a collection of fabric and notions that included the thimble.  It didn't fit her and she gave it away.  After a few questions, I thought it might fit me... turns out it did not.  However!!!! I discovered that Colonial Needle Company now manages the sales of these thimbles and offered free exchange for the proper fitting thimble. I received the new thimble and am just waiting to find the perfect project to hand-quilt and try it out!

That's all for now...

Keep Piecing,

R & R in RR ~ Sew & Tell - 7/20/26

Thanks for coming back to Melva Loves Scraps and the weekly Sew & Tell party!  I did not have much of a chance to visit everyone this week... But I have a good reason for it!  I know that you are all familiar with the party and trust that you made visits to those that share links.  Many thanks for doing that!  Since I was amiss in my task, I'll be skipping the weekly feature. 

My reason for being a poor hostess??? We were off camping in the mountains surrounding Red River, NM. 😎 I'll do better this week, promise!

It was such a refreshing time!  Three nights of some of the best sleep (which we refer to "camper sleep)!  Quiet mornings as we watched the day wake up, enjoyable bike rides into town as we observed what had changed and how since we visited last October and short conversations with residents and visitors as we strolled the sidewalks in the afternoons before the monsoon rains started, followed by pleasant afternoons and evenings putting together a puzzle and listening to the book, "Theo of Golden."

Lunch at our favorite place... Red River Brewery was a must.  It was during that lunch that we discovered that we could access an upper patio with beverages and people watch from a perch!  LOL!  We returned home on Friday afternoon so relaxed... yet we were still, somehow, tired.  Though... maybe it was not really tired.  It may have been just truly relaxed, mellow and unwound.

The high temps while in RR were upper 70s and lower 80s.  We returned to upper 80s at home and the use of the AC unit in the living room and the sound of fans helping to distribute cooler air to the rest of the house.

It is this time of the year that I find myself resisting the afternoon sun in the studio by 3 o'clock and in search of a cooler place.  I could have had the window unit placed in the room... I opted out because I enjoy the mornings in the studio more than the afternoon anyway! 

I pieced Bookish Journal Quilt blocks on Saturday morning...

Theo of Golden... Excellent book.  Here's the author's description of the book.

Theo of Golden is the endearing story of a curious old man who quietly moves into a southern city and, for reasons unknown to anyone but himself, undertakes a campaign of anonymous generosity. 

Theo’s love for people, combined with his fondness for books, art, birds, and story, unite in a colorful expression of outreach and affection. 

Stories are shared, friendships are born, and lives, in response to his inexplicable kindness, are affirmed and transformed. 

The old man, no stranger to sadness and loss, quickly becomes a welcome presence in the community but his new friends and neighbors wonder, who is Theo? And why is he here? 

Beautifully written stories of kindness and neighborliness are always timely, but perhaps especially so now. 

Meet Theo of Golden. He’s happy to meet you.

We loved it and it left us wanting to share more kindness and neighborliness with others and asking ourselves, "how can we do that?"

I was able to finish the Porcupine Year (book & block) just before we left.  The second book had a different narrator which I found an improvement.  I will pick up with that series after I listen to my full Libby bookshelf.  I didn't have any fabric with a porcupine on it, so I settled for some woodland creatures. ;)

Up next is Carnegie's Maid, followed by Necessary Lies, A Pair of Aces, Nora Goes Off Script and One Thousand White Women.  I'll be sewing (and cleaning and laundry) with earbuds!

I am ready for Week II of Lala's Irish Chain.  The story has been written, and the pictures of the next steps have been inserted.  

Do you have your pieces cut?  

You can find those instructions by following the link above.  That is where you will find the fabric requirements as well.

I know that I could have probably saved some time by using strip piecing for the patchwork blocks, but I really wanted to have more of a variety than strip piecing can give you.  I'm pretty certain that Lala would not have used strip piecing. ;) And I'm still quite surprised at how many of you told me you would want to join the sew along!  It's been magical and special... and I look forward to seeing your Irish Chains. 💗

Have you read Theo of Golden?

How do you spread kindness to others?

Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!

Bookish Review ~ Sew & Tell - 5/31/26

 

Another month has passed by, and we are turning our calendar pages to a new chapter.

Dave and I are attending a wedding out of town, so this party is pre-recorded. ;)  Therefore, I am skipping the Sew & Tell feature.

Since we're starting the 6th chapter of the book of 2026 and I'm here to show off the bookish blocks I have made to represent each book that I have completed during May.

A Spool of Blue Thread was nothing that I expected it to be (but good)... And Every Breath was all that I had hoped for and expected!  There's a mailbox, a beach and romance.  I'd love to see a movie made from it.

Anna Kerenina... a classic novel that takes place in Russia in the late 1800s... and way too long (in my opinion). I envisioned my grandparents' families longing to leave there and make their move to America.

It was coincidental timing that I worked on my Pieces From the Past II quilt as I listened.

Next up was The Last Bookshop in London, another WWII book that I enjoyed as I worked on the quilt made with blocks that represent the various letters from former WWII POWs that worked on my grandparents' farm in the 1940s.

Meet the Newmans was a 1960s story of a television family that, on the surface, reflected their home life as well.  I was well entertained.

A quote from the book struck me in reference to the women of that era finding fulfillment in life.  It was called the Patchwork method... where one takes little pieces of time to write, paint, or dance (whatever expression of creativity you choose) and before you know it you've cobbled something together like a patchwork quilt.  Some give up quickly.  Some forget about their dreams.  Some use excuses to justify why they don't try anymore.

Like the Book Club for Troublesome Women, the husband reveals that he feels as though he was in prison and forced to do work he no longer wanted to do. 

Ironically, my next book, The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie, had a similar theme.  A junior high diary contained a list of life goals, and the author of the list realized 20 years later that she had not reached a single goal on that list.  She posed the question, "What does "having it all" really mean?"  She is given three opportunities to live one day in a life that might have been hers had circumstances been different or she had made different choices.  What does she realize?

I have 45 9-patch blocks complete!

Just looking at these blocks on the design wall gives me such joy.

What brings you joy lately?

Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!

Keep Piecing,

Sew & Tell - 5/25/26

Here we are nearing the end of the 5th month of year... the informal kick-off to the summer season.  Schools are wrapping up their year of education, and teachers and kids alike are looking forward to the time off.  Gardeners are busy with flowers and plants and some already harvesting some early produce.

I remember the times of having a (LARGE) home garden and the bounty that it produced.  Those times are long in the past since we moved to Colorado and the growing season is so short and overnight temps cool.  But I do have fond memories and am quite pleased that our oldest daughter has had success with a bucket garden and continues the tradition of canning homemade salsa and tomato sauce.

First, let's take a look this week's feature, Turid at Den Syende Himmel who shared a sample piece of Sashiko stitching.  She learned the technique in a Kate Ward workshop.

I've never done Sashiko before though I have seen it featured in several free workshops of late.  

You can develop many different designs and patterns... It reminds me of "chicken scratch", another style of embroidery and my years doing cross-stich.  Turid tends to make small quilts and projects and always has something fun and interesting to see.  Be sure to give her a visit.  Thanks for sharing, Turid! 

While we celebrate Memorial Day Weekend in the United States, we need to remember that it is much more than just a kick-off to summer.  It is a weekend (day) to remember the fallen soldiers that have defended the US and our freedom.  All gave some... Some gave all.  Learn more interesting details here.

I used some scraps to make up a quick improv flag and then used reverse applique to put it on a plain t-shirt.  It's a little wonky... but I won't mind.  Just pretend it is waving in a breeze. ;)

This shirt was a quick project as I took a break from working on my Pieces from the Past II quilt.  In the spirit of don't waste anything... I pieced together batting to use in this quilt.  

I pieced the backing as well.  I wanted to include the adorable goose print fabric.  The use of this fabric helped to make the blue flower print feel more comfortable in joining the party.

The garden theme is perfect!

I chose a traditional scroll design for the blocks.  My mind was stuck on a traditional design since the blocks are from vintage Kansas City Star Newspapers.

I considered something a little faster but really wanted to honor the history and family stories that this quilt represents.

I am nearly done with the design in each block and will be ready to quilt the sashing strips and borders.  Whether or not I am able to get the design idea from my head onto the quilt remains to be seen.  Fingers crossed that I am successful.

As I stitched I (of course) listened to some audio books. Anna Karenina was finished just before the expiration of my borrowing period.  Diann asked me if I was glad that I finished... The final chapter was filled with many deep and philosophical questions to ponder.  Was it worth it???  Well, I don't have any regrets, but I also question why the book needed to be so long just to get there.  If there is an abridged version, I'd choose that one. ;)

I enjoyed The Last Bookshop in London.  This historical WWII fiction showed how an individual can make a difference even when they don't feel that they can.

I'll need to pull out all of my Bookish Journey blocks and see how many I have.  We turn the page of the calendar in just 1 week...  A new chapter in the journey of 2026!

Other things that took place during the week... 

Block #9 of the Little House Sampler Quilt was released last week.  Missed it?  Prairie Rose can be found here.

The final post of the sew along will be published June 4th.  Details of the layout, borders and binding will be offered.

I assisted Dave as he applied the first layer of cement/stucco finish to the old window opening in the garage.  We've spent a fair number of Memorial Day weekends in the past working on the house... this one was no different.  In the guestroom, my Color Wash quilt was hung.

She's beautiful!  The guestroom will soon be occupied for a few days when our youngest daughter comes for a visit.  I'm looking forward to several days with her. 💗

Dave has been noticeably more intentional of not working on the weekends... at least not doing his "real" work in the shop.  He's always busy doing something around the house or yard.  

Being more aware of this, I keep reminding myself that I, too, can slow down and enjoy the entire process of quilting this Pieces From the Past revisited quilt since it is for me, I don't have anything new calling out for my attention and I don't have a deadline.  Sometimes it is difficult to change the mindset of "Go, go, go! Gotta get it done!"

How do you get yourself to slow down and enjoy the journey (not just the destination)?

Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!

Bookish Journey Continues ~ Sew & Tell - 5/4/2026

It was quiet in the studio this past week.  Since we started the "window" project in the guestroom last weekend and I was waiting for a quilt kit to arrive, I did spent time in the kitchen and doing some spring cleaning in the rest of the house. 

First though... let's take a look at this week's feature.  Gwyned shared her story of how a package took a 2-week scenic tour around the country as well as her latest block in the Butterfly Sanctuary BOM.

This block had 71 pieces in it! It is beautiful.  Head over to her blog to find out why the block is not square.  She shares the link for the BOM, in case you are curious enough to want more details.

I did a HUGE shopping trip purchasing all of the necessary ingredients for 14 No Guilt::Go Quilt freezer meals.  Some of my favorites are tucked away in the freezer and ready to go!  It is a gratifying feeling when I spend about 4 hours of prep work and know that the time spent will be time saved later.

Follow the link above to find all of the stories tagged that have the recipes in them.

I pulled one meal straight from the freezer on Friday afternoon and popped it in the insta-pot with a stainless-steel pot and pressed start.  After the initial cooking cycle, I switched it to the slow cook setting to let it simmer until we were ready to eat a few hours later.  YUM!

Backing up one day... Monday evening was an enjoyable time at the softball game.  Hanna opened a birthday gift of a polaroid-like camera from Aunt Beck and Uncle DD and had a ball with it!  

I laminated the best of the photos into a photo booth strip and have it proudly displayed on the fridge. <3 

Thank you for the prayers! 

Emma hit an infield home run during the game, and it was fun to cheer her on as she rounded third base heading for home. Whoop! Whoop!

Another day was a much-needed day of dusting and vacuuming.  When Shelby was still with us, I was much more diligent about cleaning... I decided that I had neglected the deep cleaning chores for long enough.  Still waiting on the quilt kit... I wasn't too terribly distracted. LOL!

One final day was in the kitchen as I baked assorted muffins and cookies.  I am restocked in the snack department. ;)

FINALLY... I wandered to the studio to play with the fabric pull I had for the April Audio books I enjoyed.

I won't review each one here, but would be happy to share my thoughts on any of them you might be interested in.  Just leave a comment (with your email address) and I'll send you an email and my thoughts.

Map of my Heart by Susan Wiggs was my 15-minutes before bed slow-read.  And The Chilbury Ladies Choir was finished on May 1.

A sweet friend recently sent me a book by Sandra Dallas from his mother's collection ~ A Quilt for Christmas.

I nearly forgot that block #7 of the Little House Sampler Sew Along was published!  You can find the story with the link to the pattern here.  Only two more blocks... and both of them will be released this month.  :)

That sums up my week.  The wait for the quilt kit is finally over.  I need to have this baby quilt to my customer by the end of the month.

I don't usually use kits for quilts... this one was just what the customer was looking for.  Her grandson's nursery is in a safari theme, and this was perfect!

You know where I can be found.

Before you go, tell me...

Do you like using quilt kits?

Or, are you more of a "curate your own kit" quilter?

Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!
