...My quilting and arts and crafts blog
About Me
- Alyssa
- I am a full time working mom of twin boys. My passion is my children. My hobby is quilting. This blog is my quilting journal. I love to share my quilts and arts and craft projects with friends and family. After a long hiatus of taking care of twin babies and then running after them as toddlers I finally have the time and energy to quilt again. I love sewing as my sons sit beside me or play near my sewing machine. Who knew boys could be so interested in quilting.

Favorite Books - This is a small list of the many books I have read and enjoyed.
- The Passage Series by Justin Cronin
- The Order of the Sanguines Series by James Rolling and Rebecca Cantrell. A three book series on a secret church order of vampires.
- The Forgotten Seamstress by Liz Trenow. A book about a quilt. So sweet.
- Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon (Oh Jamie! I'd go through time for you any day!)
- All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness Three book series about vampire and witches.
- Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. I have read a lot of book since my last entry. This is the first one in a while I thought was worth sharring.
- This Much I Know is True by Wally Lamb. This book takes a life time out of you, but is well worth it.
- Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson. This book will change the way you view the world.
- Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
- Girl with a Pearl Earing by Tracy Chevalier
- Author Alison Weir writes great books about the European Royalty
- Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
- Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
- Chang and Eng by Darin Strauss
- Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue. Great period piece. I love historical fiction.
- The Terrosrists of Irustan by Louise Marley. I love a book with strong female characters.
- Tis' by Frank McCourt. His first book Angela's Ashes was also very well done.
- Stones by the River by Ursula Hegi
- She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
- Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross. Fantastic book about the only female pope (supposedly).
- The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Great book that remains one of my true favorites. Her next Prodigal Summer was also very good.
- Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. Beware the awful ending.
- Fortune's Rock by Anita Shreve
- Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.
- Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naglund. I love a book that take a tiny line or story from something and turns it into a novel. Ahab was the captain in Moby Dick.

- The Twlight Series by Stephenie Meyer. Really no explanation need.
- The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. This is my all time favorite book.
