I'm honored to get to review The Simple Simon Guide to Patchwork Quilting. This is the first book from the amazing duo, Elizabeth Evans and Liz Evans from the inspiring sewing blog, Simple Simon and Company. (Yes, that is not a typo - they are two girls named Elizabeth who married brothers ended up with the same name!) Both girls are so delightful. Plus, they've got amazing sewing skills. You can see their free tutorials here.
Each of the seven traditional blocks featured has multiple projects beyond quilts based on that block. They include pillows, banners, skirts, aprons, and baby bibs. I love this nine-patch fabric basket - I think it would be a great way to use up some favorite fabric.
I decided it would be fun to whip up the cute Flying Geese zipper pouch pattern. It's so simple and came together so quickly. I haven't sewed at my machine for weeks, so it was so satisfying to play with some fabric and sew together a quick finish.
Thanks to the clear instructions I even confidently sewed in the zipper with no one here to hold my hand (other than the seven 8-12-year-old boys who were in and out of my house while I was working on it, but they probably wouldn't be reliable zipper-helpers anyway.)
The Simple Simon Guide to Patchwork Quilting is a great book for beginning quilters and sewers. The projects are simple enough that someone with very basic sewing skills would feel confident tackling them. The beautiful modern projects would be another enticing element for a younger sewer to want to jump in.
The first three books in the riveting new thriller series from Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author L.T. Ryan. The Blake Brier books are gripping thrillers loaded with twists, suspense, and nonstop action.
Allander Atlasia is an infamous psychopath whose heinous crimes have earned him a lifetime stay at the Tower, the world's most extreme maximum-security prison. But after a brilliant and brutal escape, the criminal mastermind begins a killing spree that is intensely personal. Jade Marlow is an ex-FBI profiler and tracker whose fearlessness is only surpassed by the severity of his own inner demons. With a record of irrational behavior and a genius for putting himself into the mind of a criminal predator, he may be the one man diabolical enough to catch Atlasia.
DC attorney Trevor Mann is about to discover a shocking secret...and to uncover the truth, he must solve the most shocking mystery of his life. After a serious professional stumble, attorney Trevor Mann may have finally hit his stride. He's found happiness with his girlfriend Claire Parker, a beautiful, ambitious journalist always on the hunt for a scoop. But when Claire's newest story leads to a violent confrontation, Trevor's newly peaceful life is shattered as he tries to find out why.
All three are thrust together when Simon Lynch, a 16-year-old savant, unknowingly breaks the newest, most secure code developed by the National Security Agency. Corrupt elements within that government behemoth, determined to protect their creation, send Keiko Kimura, a beautiful and brutal terrorist, after the young man. Only FBI Special Agent Art Jefferson stands between the killer and her prey.
As though they were father and son, the bond between Art and Simon turns out to be as crucial to their survival as Art's decades of experience in the FBI. Together, they must evade their pursuers who track them through cyberspace and dog them at every turn.
One shot. One kill. A simple plan. A simple operation. But it doesn't take much to throw off the assassination of a corrupt US senator in a foreign country. Not once the cartel gets involved. Can Riley "Bear" Logan and Jack Noble fight through the waves before a traitor gets to them first?
