In July, I set aside my knitting to focus on my convergence quilt...I am stitching the outer binding and should have it finished by the weekend...a stitch here n' there, when I sit down or take a break. In not quite a couple weeks, I am attending a day and a half quilting workshop with three of my Thursday stitching group friends. The subject is trees. I may use the above photo for inspiration. Our instructor hails from Australia; more to come soon.
This past weekend, I finished Louise Penny's The Brutal Telling (Audible) and Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing (print). These two very.different.novels, both set in another country were each a tour de force. I especially liked listening to the #5 Inspector Gamache book (of the 13, so far, in the series). I found the narrator Ralph Gosham's reading to be quite listenable (a word?) . Tho' I have Homegoing as an audio book, I decided against listening to it...the cast of characters is quite extensive and thankfully, there is a "family tree" one can and does refer to quite frequently. I am still thinking about the story. A debut novel, Homegoing transcends place and time and yet it's all about place and time ...over several centuries through today. We're offered a different view of slavery and humanity ...and the picture, sadly, is not much better now than then.
It's 91 degrees at 12:41 pm. Norman just came in from a quick trip out; I inquired: "How does it feel out there?" His response: "Well..." And that settles it for me! Hope it's cooler where you are!
Joining Kat and friends...
