I Like Thursday #308


It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna to link up with more blogs posting happy and fun content on a weekly basis. I finished quilting this baby quilt this morning. It measures about 42.5" X 56.5". I'll be making the binding soon. I love how the ribbon candy just pops in this picture. This was fun to make and I hope my friend and his wife love it!


I had a gift card from Barnes & Noble so I bought this very neat Nook cover. It reminds me of a quilt so I just couldn't resist it! I use my Nook a lot since I borrow books from libraries in Massachusetts using the Libby app. It's such a convenient way to read books and it's all free!


I also bought this cute hair clip. You would never know it's a clip. It looks like a book and I just had to have it! It says Romantasy on the side where the book binding would be. So funny and it works great!!



The conversation starter this week asks what was your least favorite food as a child and how we feel about it now. So, in seventh grade I bought a cafeteria lunch at school that happened to be a pepper steak. Well, after eating it, I got sick. To this day, just the smell of peppers brings that nausea right back to me. It was always difficult living in an Italian family since my mom used fresh peppers a lot. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat peppers. 

Have a great weekend! Tomorrow is the first day of Spring so Happy Spring!!!!!

  1. Happy Spring, Rosemary! The baby quilt turned out so pretty. I love how the quilting pops. The Nook cover is a great idea. I don't use my Nook much any longer. My apps are all on the iPad now. I use Libby here as well. So convenient!! Cute hair clip...perfect for someone who loves to read.

    1. Thanks, Jeanna! Barnes & Noble has lots of cute stuff since they merged with The Paper Store. Some of their items are just too cute to pass up!

  2. I heard if you get sick eating something it's hard to eat it again. B & N has great gifts! LeeAnna

    1. That has certainly been the case for me. I was 12 years old when I got sick and I still can't eat peppers. I love going to Barnes & Noble. So much great stuff!!

  3. Cute baby quilt! love the cover and the clip. Bummer about the peppers. Had something similar (cam down with the flu after a meat lovers pizza... and I loved that pizza....).

    1. Thanks, Sally! It's weird how that happens once and you can't eat that food ever again.

  4. The baby quilt is beautiful, love how the quilting shows up. Great buys at B&N, perfect for a booklover and quilter. Growing up on a farm, we always had chicken. My late mom used to make chicken soup. I hated it because the chicken were well fed and fat, which meant the soup became very fat. I've not eaten chicken soup since that time! I just can't, it reminds me too much of the fat.

    1. Thanks, Astrid! It's so weird how certain memories just never leave us. Our stomachs don't seem to forget either!!

Finishing Up

Now that Easter is over, I'm finishing up a few projects. This is Facets which only needs 2 more borders! I love how this quilt came out...
