Dead Men Don't Play Fetch (Andy Carpenter #33) by David Rosenfelt A fun, fast read. Now we have to wait until October for #34. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Finished #machinepiecing this flimsy: sudoku pattern using 25 different fabrics (I used a fat-quarter bundle so some of the differences in shades are very subtle). Have enough fabric from the same bundle to piece the backing. #quiltsky #handquilting

Nightmares & Dreamscapes (Volume III) #audiobook by #StephenKing A fabulous collection of short stories read by (among others) Gary Sinise, Grace Slick, Joe Mantegna, and the author himself. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Fever Dream (Pendergast #10) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child As always an engrossing adventure, but there was just a little too much loving detail about firearms. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Nightmares & Dreamscapes (Volume II) #audiobook by #StephenKing A fabulous collection of short stories read by (among others) Kathy Bates, Matthew Broderick, Tim Curry, Jerry Garcia, and the author himself. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Nightmares & Dreamscapes (Volume 1) Audiobook by Stephen King, read by (among others) Rob Lowe, Whoopie Goldberg, Tim Curry, and Tabitha King. Feels like cheating that the book was broken into three volumes. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules Audible #audiobook Great premise and (almost) age appropriate (for me) but it wasn't as captivating as I'd hoped, so it took me a while to finish. I won't be continuing the series. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Cemetery Dance (Pendergast #9) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Getting behind on my reading so spent the afternoon fighting zombiis with FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Lieutenant D'Agosta. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

#Machinepieced #hanquilted One jelly roll with black sashing for a "stained glass" effect. My 50th completed quilt since retirement! #quiltsky

The Wheel of Darkness (Pendergast #8) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Like The Poseidon Adventure with supernatural elements! #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Insomnia, audiobook by #StephenKing, read by Eli Wallach. A pharmacist explains all the side effects of sleep deprivation that we're all watching play out daily from the people's house: impaired judgment, anxiety, depression, mania, panic... #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Pursuit by Stephen Dobyns Thank you to #StephenKing for intriguing me enough to go looking for this poem. #booksky

Silver Birch, Blood Moon (Fairy Tales anthology series) Edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling Various authors. Took a break from the adventures of FBI Special Agent Pendergast to go on a side quest of re-told fairy tales. It didn't disappoint. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Finished #machinepiecing this quilt top yesterday, using up a lot of the novelty fabrics in my stash. When the time comes, I have enough novelty fabrics left over to make a fun back, and will bind it in black to pull it all together. #quiltsky

Bat Out of Hell: An Anthology of New Mystery Short Stories (Music and Murder Mystery #4) "Inspired by the debut album from legendary rock star Meat Loaf, Bat Out of Hell is a stellar collection of mysteries from some of the best writers in the genre." Just so-so. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

The Dark Tower (Dark Tower VII) Audible audiobook by #StephenKing Narrated by George Guidall And again, the journey has ended. For now. The last time was in 2023 and I'm wondering if I have another trip left in me. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child I prefer to read in bed before going to sleep but it's hard to maneuver a 450+ page hardcover novel (plus booklight) comfortably. So I spent the morning following the adventures (misadventures?) of the brothers Pendergast. #booksky

Song of Susannah: The Dark Tower #6 by #StephenKing Audible audiobook, narrated by George Guidall My journey is almost over (again). One more volume, then I'll have to wait until October for the book that ties The Talisman and The Dark Tower together in one final epic tale. #booksky

Finally finished #handquilting! The top was #machinepieced in November 2025 and sat in my #WIP basket until late March. It's more of a lap quilt but I'm making it work as a bed topper. #quiltsky

Prepping the quilt sandwich on this top that I completed in January so I can move right along when I finish binding my current project. #quiltsky #handquilting #machinepiecing #WIP

Dance of Death (Pendergast #6) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Having a good time re-immersing myself in this series. It's been a while...OMG 20 years??? #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Wolves of the Calla (Dark Tower V) Audible audiobook by #StephenKing, read by George Guidall Feels like the roller coaster ride is speeding up.... #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Found lychee at the supermarket yesterday! $10+ per pound. This bag came out to a whopping.....wait for it..........$26. But OMG, no regrets; they're so sweet and delicious!

Spent the morning adding the borders: thanks for the suggestions! I went with what I have in my stash: black and then a metallic Asian fabric. Now it's going into my #wip basket under three other finished tops, waiting to be #handquilted. #quiltsky

Finished the main portion of this quilt top; it's 60" square. Think I'll add two narrow borders - black, then ??? Once that's done it will go into my to-be-quilted basket under three more completed tops. #quiltsky #WIP #machinepiecing #handquilting

The Wind Through the Keyhole An Audible audiobook by #StephenKing, narrated by the author. An interlude on the journey to the Dark Tower. Onward to Wolves of the Calla. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Cat on a Hot Tin Woof: A Chet & Bernie Mystery (#16) by Spencer Quinn Chet the Jet is back with a brand new adventure! It's been too long. #booksky #2026readingchallenge

Currently taking a turn on the bed, my quilt #44. Love flipping it to show off the back for a different vibe. I've made 48 quilts, mostly lap or throw sized, since I retired in 2020 and still have 11 in my collection so I rotate them frequently. #machinepieced #handquilted #quiltsky
