Block #27 of
Barbara Brackman's Civil War Quilts. It's called Irish Chain. I kept to green. Also I would like to incorporate plaids into future blocks.
In keeping to the Irish theme, I bought a tin whistle over at eBay. It's a
Clarke's Sweetone in D. I've been reading about inherent manufacturing faults in tin whistles. So I decided to get a 'tweaked' tin whistle by
Jerry Freeman no less! It's sounding really nice and I am following online tutorials by
Fr Ryan Duns. So I think I am set up for some daily practice.
Friendship Star quilt, coming along albeit slowly ...
Added 2 more blocks to this long time WIP.
Slow and steady wins the race. You have to lovely projects in the making.......

I can't believe how much work you get done. You are one very focused sewer. Love your stars.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that yours and Merilyn's small blog photos were the same?
A tin whistle? You have time for another hobby? Please share some with me!
So many things on the go ;-)

Your blocks look great! When we moved here in 2003, my kids had a list of books to buy and had to buy a tin whistle, as well, for school. I wish they'd kept up with it but think they can still play a few notes.
