“Just when I was settling down to it, Lettice Protheroe drifted in.
I use the word ‘drifted’ advisedly. I have read in novels in which young people are described as bursting with energy--joie de vivre, the magnificent vitality of youth. Personally, all the young people I come across have the air of amiable wraiths.”
The Murder at the Vicarage
Agatha Christie
Happy Friday!
I hope you are having at least a bearable week if not a great week! I have been busy cutting, quilting, and sewing! I finally finished The Count of Monte Cristo this week, and I started the first Miss Marple Mystery. After teaching high school for nigh on15 years, the quotation above made me chuckle.
Row one!
Some piecing has been done on the Anniversary quilt, and I am hoping to do more tomorrow. I am deep into the heat of holiday orders, so my time is very limited…I know I should have endeavored to finish the Anniversary quilt before the holiday rush...but...alas.
This is the last blog before Election day, so please be sure to get out and vote if you have not already done so. I voted by absentee ballot, and my ballot has been processed and accepted. Vote...it is very important.
Have a great week. Stay safe.
Sending Quilting Love,
Ginger
Coming Next Week: That depends on you...what would you like to hear about? Leave a comment by next Tuesday or Wednesday! More about the Anniversary quilt next week, too! And maybe a little about what I have been watching while embroidering in the evenings! Maybe some pictures of that, too!
My copy of Agatha Christie. I picked it up at a used book store a few years ago. It smells wonderful…you know, that old book smell…it has the first Miss Marple Mystery and the last Miss Marple Mystery. I don’t know why they put the first last, but I started with the first.
I am Reading: Cræft: An Inquiry Into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts by Alexander Langlands and The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie. I finished The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (unabridged); I was not disappointed! I also checked out some books from the library, which I have to go pick up safely with my mask in the express checkout. I am so excited! More about those next week! I am also reading various poetry.
