There’s been very little quilting progress here lately. One of my New Year’s Resolutions ( read more here) was to read more fiction. I just finished The Hobbit, which I liked, but didn’t love…and now I’ve returned to one of my favorite authors, Rafael Sabatini. One reviewer described The Black Swan as “a thrilling swashbuckler“…what more could I want? A clear, idealistic hero who rescues a witty damsel in distress…
If it’s anything like my other Sabatini favorites: Captain Blood, Scaramouche, and The Sea-Hawk, there will be plenty of drama on the high-seas…pirates, buccaneers, intrigue…and while I enjoy all the action, what I am really drawn to is the witty prose.
I have a great deal planned for the next few weeks: more giveaways, more tutorials, more about the Mariner’s Compass Block above… and a new look…so stay tuned…exciting things coming your way…
But for the moment…I’m lost in tropical trade winds off Barbados...
