Hallelujah Chorus -Quinhagak, Alaska
Here's a little back story on this video
The teacher who spearheaded this production was having trouble getting the kids to take part until he asked the entire village to participate. Looks like they all had a great time.

Design Dilemmas
But...as I was laying out the blocks on my design wall I discovered a way to connect the background stars. I drew it out on EQ7.

Design Wall Monday
Merry and Chris Moose are almost done. Had to trek out in the snow for twigs to turn into antlers. One needs his arms attached and parka finished.
My design wall holds three stockings in progress. All three are Hearthsewn designs. This designer comes up with a new stocking every year. A key ingredient is a mini stuffed bear that sits on the stocking. I've made at least a dozen of these stockings. I love them! They usually incorporate several techniques: patchwork, paper piecing, hand applique and/or fusible applique. I'm hoping to finish the applique work on the center stocking this week. The two outside stockings need to be hand quilted then it is on to final construction. It takes me about 20 hours to make one of these stockings.
