Some finishes

   Maybe having an extra day in February helped with finishing up some projects.  The 5" squares mentioned in an earlier post had 1" strips of ecru sewn as sashing, making the piece five blocks wide by six blocks long. There were four more blocks, so I added a 5" border with these four blocks as cornerstones. Deciding on how to quilt it has me in a dilemma.

  

 There were two quilts for our Pine Belt Quilters community quilts. I quilted and bound the tops that someone else had stitched. The little flying geese piece got bits of maps glued around the edges for finishing of Flying Geese Over Lake Michigan. I had fun making this dog portrait from my niece's photograph.

It was fun hosting some of the USM international students last week for food and fellowship. Elizabeth and Rahrah had an especially good time and got lots of attention.

The Meistersingers of Mississippi will present Mozart's Requiem this Sunday afternoon, March 3, at 3:00 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Hattiesburg. The rehearsals have been so rewarding; it is a deep pleasure getting to participate with a group of dedicated musicians for this classic composed in 1791. A reception will follow.
