• This & That

  I’m still sewing away on my Orca Bay mystery quilt. I’m about to finish up the Ohio Stars. One thing I changed from the original directions was to make the black blocks with blue centers instead of red centers. Since the finished quilt has been revealed I thought maybe a blue center would help bring out a diagonal look a little more.

  

  My sister Polly & I talked about swaping the dark Ohio Stars with the light Ohio Stars in the final layout. Can you see the difference it makes?

  

  

  We had a lot of activity at our house over the holidays. The young people had fun singing around the piano & guitar.

  

  Laura came to teach kindergarten for our church school. She is boarding with us and graces us with lovely music often.

  I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these two friends develop a close relationship.
