There is scarcely anything that drags a person down like debt." ~ P. T. Barnum
Last Saturday, I was able to attend a "Brunch Bunch" at the Quilter's Attic quilt shop in Bountiful, Utah. The pattern and fabric designer, Amy Ellis, was there to do a trunk show and tell us about her new patterns and fabrics. She is such a nice lady and so creative! She even had some drawings for prizes. My friend won a pattern and I won a set of fat quarters of her new line of fabric.

We saw the movie "The Greatest Showman" a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed the movie so much that it made me curious about the life of P.T. Barnum so I found this book about his life. He was a very interesting man and his life was inspiring. I recommend the movie and this book.
