Nancy Drew!

 


My daughter took my old collection of Moda fabric and turned it into a masterpiece. It is stunning. She is a wonderful seamstress and artisan. 
The back is a beautiful yellow in homage to the yellow matte covers we love so dearly. The blue border is a nod to the Hardy Boys and to Nancy's blue tweed covers. 

I am working on a project of cataloging and reading through my Nancy Drew, et.al. collection. I have had the little index card box below for several years, just waiting for a perfect purpose for it.




I will have sections hopefully for the following series:
Nancy Drew
The Hardy Boys
The Dana Girls
The Happy Hollisters 
Robin Kane
Trixie Belden
Miscellaneous Series entries

I am not sure my little box will hold all of that LOL!  But it will be a fun project. 
Ideally, I would have an index card for each volume with a synopsis of each title and information about what I own. 
Right now, I am reading (a second attempt) this Hardy Boys title. It is usually tapped as a favorite in polls about the series. 


It is pretty scary. 
Currently, I am listening through the Nancy's I have on Audible--those read by Laura Linney are really good. I started The Bungalow Mystery  recently. 


This is the recorded version. I would like to read the older version to see if it is a bit scarier. That's what I hear about The Hidden Staircase.


I will post a picture of the quilt when we get it displayed. It is one of the greatest presents I have ever received. Lots of hard work and love.
