Winter birches...
So, I am hoping to take one per month for April, May and June:
sew backings, cut battings, layer and pin baste them ready for
quilting....i now have to decide which one to tackle first...
They are all pretty big to handle...I am hoping to use my older fabrics
on the backs...to make more room for the newer Fabrics I've caved in and
bought recently....;000

in the palest of pinks....
The circles look like this on the back....pretty cool, I think...certainly not perfect
stitching, but definitely looking handmade....

We will be having new carpeting installed the end of April which involves
having my Grand Piano moved by piano movers the day before and moved
back in the day after...
My Father bought the piano in 1950 from Hartford's
Goss Piano Co; it was a Tanglewood Baldwin--
he decided that we had to have a "real"
piano in lieu of a new car at that time...
he often joked about sitting down
to "drive" the Baldwin in the evenings after dinner....
He even took lessons along with me to encourage
my playing...we did a lot of duets together...
what fun we had...
and every time we had company he would
sit down and play tunes by ear and my Mom would
sing--if a house had a piano it was a party when he
appeared....;))))
Lots of memories in my piano...
Thom says I should
write a story about its journies...
And it really would be the story of my life--
I will leave you on that final "note"...💞🎶🎹
