I had more photos from Tahiti I wanted to share with you.

There were some fabric shops in Papeetea.  Not the style that I often use but there was an abundance of tropical prints available to purchase.

I wish I could tell you why I like chickens/roosters so much. I don’t know why….I just do.  Isn’t this rooster beautiful?  It was as if he was posing for the photo.

One of the students has already emailed me a photo of her finished block.  Kathy Barton sent this photo.  Kathy said she liked the techniques so much she is planning on making 3 more blocks for a wall quilt.

BOOK REVIEW

18079775[1]

I recently read “The Secret of Magic” by Deborah Johnson.  The main character, Regina Robicard, has recently been employed by Thurgood Marshall.  Marshall receives a letter asking him to investigate the murder of a missing black war hero.  The letter is signed by M.P. Chalhoun who is a reclusive author.  Regina has fond memories of reading Chalhoun’s book when she was younger.  Chalhoun’s book tells of black and white children playing together in the south in a magical land.  When Regina goes to Mississippii to investigate she has a lot to learn.
