Scrappy Plates
If you’ve followed along you should have your Scrappy Plate Quilt almost finished! Can you believe how easy it was? I’ve wanted to make a Dresden quilt forever and I’ve put it off because it looked like so much work. Once I tried the Dresden ruler I knew I was hooked. The ruler really makes it easy! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful time making your own quilt. Will you add a scallop or keep the border plain? Decisions, decisions! You’ll find the pattern for the scallop by clicking here Scrappy Plates Part Four!
To all of my readers who suggested books to read in my last post, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I was so excited to read all of your comments and I now have a book list a mile long! So that you’ll also be able to refer back to the “share your reads” blog post, I’ve started a new category on my side bar called “Books To Read”. You’ll find the post there.
So what book did I decide to start with? I chose the “In Death” series by J.D. Robb that so many of you suggested. I’m loving the first book in the series and can’t wait for more. Thanks to you so many books are calling my name. :>)
Hope all of you are having a great week.
Hugs,
Anne

Luv your darling polka dot Dresden!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to try a new quilt style. I have had my top all done but made my Lenten project one of finishing some UFOs. I finished 5 quilts! I tried to post them all on our flikr page but had no luck. I cant wait to make more dresden plates but have 3 quilts to make for gifts by early May. My son and his girlfriend graduate from college in early may. My son is like the cobblers children who never have any shoes. I have never made my son a true quilt (only a little lap one he long ago outgrew)while his sisters have several each. My ladybug loving niece turns 40 so she needs a ladybug quilt n’est pas? She also loves her martinis and I found a moda line Essentials that has ladybugs and martini glasses along with florals. It should be a hoot. Then by June we have to completely move out of our house for a major remodel so my poor dresden may be on hold for a while. Thanks again for this very fun project!! Whats next?????

You will love the “In Death” series. I don’t know if you have discovered the website fantasticfiction.co.uk, but if you go there you can type in JD Robb in the author section and it will bring up all the books and the order that they go in. You can do that for any author, not just JD Robb. I am up to number 18 in the “In Death” series and have enjoyed every one.
