“We do these ugly, dull things for a reason—to make a space where folk can live, celebrate, and know joy and love.”

Robert Jackson Bennett, The Tainted Cup

As April mellows into May, is time for the best book of the month! 🍃📖 As always picking just one favorite book is hard, but The Tainted Cup’s world building made it a great read for Spring. Toped off with dangerous plants, and a murder mystery.

Again, don’t forget to stop by your favorite local bookstores this weekend to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day!

Today’s @owlcrate @OCthenest @words.and.whimsy Nest’s Kitchen photo challenge is the Best Book Of The Month!

As always check out our Etsy shop at VictoriaGDesigns or www.victoriagleasuredesigns.com 💚

“She paused outside the door to cast him a chastening look. “That had better not be another veiled reference to something wicked.” “Veiled’? Never.” His grin proved that quite well. “I am always direct about anything wicked.” He narrowed his gaze on her. “And you enjoy that, I daresay, since you’re fairly forthright yourself.” Sabrina Jeffries, Accidentally His

Friendly reminder that this weekend is Independent bookstore day! 📚📖 A great time to support our favorite local authors and bookshops. I recommend shopping at @bookferretnc and @thebookhousews

If you haven’t read Sabrina Jeffries’ latest romance, I definitely recommend picking up a copy. It is as yummy as it looks,and I mean the food of course. 😉

Today’s @owlcrate @OCthenest @words.and.whimsy Nest’s Kitchen photo challenge is Dining Is An Art Form (A Book With A Dinner Party in it). Verity knows more about cooking than men, but Rafe is one mystery she is eager to solve. 📖💛

“Steady progress. That was the Ictha way. Any task could be overcome by steady, unrelenting progress.” Mark Lawrence, The Girl and the Mountain

We are doing a bit of catching up today, after a lovely week off! 📖💜 So here is a closer look at the longarm quilting of the Greek Cross quilt. This is a very small version of the paisley quilting design. It takes a bit of work, but it looks wonderfully intricate in the end.

“I have not led an ordinary life, nor a life that would suit everyone. I took great risks, but because I did, I also earned great reward. I found the way to show my true face freely, without fear. Because of this, I found true love.” Cameron Dokey, The Wild Orchid

It is a beautiful Spring day, and a great day to longarm floral quilts! 🌸📖 Some of my favorite quilting designs are flowers. The loops and swirls of their shape is so much fun.

Strong of heart? Oh, yes. Fast as wind? When she rode on the back of her dragons, there was no one faster. Unwilling to bend? She’d wanted me, and she’d done everything in her power to help us find each other again.” The Glass Queen by Gena Showalter

“The parrot answered by squawking something that might have been ‘Pieces of eight’, but then again, maybe I was only hearing that inside my mind, in the same secret chamber where just then, and for the last time, I heard Will Fly laughing his spectral laugh of triumph that his treasure would never be found again.” A True Account by Katherine Howe

Today’s @owlcrate @OCthenest @words.and.whimsy Fallen Thrones photo challenge is Kidnapped By Pirates (A Book With Pirates Or A Kidnapping Plot). I don’t often read Historical Fiction, but Katherine Howe’s tale of pyrates has everything you want in a swashbuckling tale.

Now that we have caught up from the whirlwind of the last two months, it’s time to share how amazing the Greek Cross quilt turned out! 💜🌸 This longarm design is the paisley in a smaller size. Which gives the design a more delicate twist. I just love being able to longarm quilt with purple thread!
