Southern Fiction "My Drowning"

Dysfunctional southern family saga at its best! Absolutely enjoying this quick read!
Complete with an alcoholic husband/father, illiteracy, dirt-poor families struggling with too many pregnancies and children barely able to scrape together enough food for one meal a day.

Michal ~ Biblical Fiction

Biblical fiction is my favorite genre and this story of King David, Michal and her father King Saul, does not disappoint.
My favorite time to read is during the pre-dawn hours of the day before our home wakes up. 😆

Rag Quilt Baby Shower Gift

Creating a cozy rag baby quilt this week to give as a gift to one of my daughter's best friends who's expecting her first child this summer. Such an exciting and very special time in her life...the arrival of a sweet daughter; a precious baby girl. ♥
~ 72 squares (fleece, flannel & cotton fabric) each 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"
~ 36 squares (cotton batting) each 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Out of these cut squares I'll make 36 individual quilt sandwiches and sew 2 diagonal lines, corner to corner, resulting in an 'X' on each sandwich square.
Each square will then be sewn together creating the pattern I designed for this project.
Pictures will be posted as soon as I complete this sweet baby quilt. :-)
Thanks bunches for dropping in here and spending a few moments looking at this rag quilt ♥
