I have a finish to share with you, this cutie will also be going to Love Quilts for Mr. Andrew . Last post I shared with you, "Boys and Bugs" also for Andrew's quilt...this will be a nice accompaniment I hope.

I finished the last stitch last night and I have a new project loaded up and rarin' to go! You'll have to wait to see what it is...it is one that I've been wanting to do for myself for a loooooong time....
This weekend...
Katie celebrated the culmination of Indiana University's 2011 Young Winds Program (she celebrated because for the last 4 months she's had to get out of bed at 7 a.m. on Saturday mornings). The culmination included a concert of the beginning, advanced and combination bands, including sectional performances. The amount of music that they learned during these four short months was astounding. Katie and two others were featured in a clarinet sectional called "Gaga Wars" which was a piece that combined the theme from "Star Wars" and also Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" Sounds weird, but honestly it was really great. Anyway here's a snap of Katie, her clarinet instructor - Yugi and Katie's other advanced clarinetist (sorry I don't know her name). Anyway these three carried the clarinet section playing first and second clarinet parts alone. Katie played fabulously! Yay Kate! (which considering how much $$$ we've spent on private lessons....that's a good thing!)

Your square looks great, Vonna!!! It is kinda ironic that I stumbled across your post today, as I have been thinking about "Love Quilts" and maybe using my love of stitching to help other people, or to put a smile on someone else's face. So, thank you!! LOL...you made my day without knowing it!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a Blessed Easter!!
Katie is a beauty and obviously very talented!
ReplyDeleteYour block will be a wonderful addition to the quilt!
Vonna, I read your blog all the time, but don't always have time to post a comment. I wanted to say that you have such a huge heart and that your giving spirit is such a pleasure to see. It is so sweet of you to take the time to do the second square for Andrew so that he could get his quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your daughter! It's great that she has such a strong interest in music and has stuck with it. :)
Cute finish! Congrats to Katie! That's a huge accomplishment! (wow, that's a lot of exclamation points!!!)
