I've started working on a sofa throw for Steffi and Dietmar. Steffi picked out the fabrics and the pattern. I'm really enjoying the project - the colors are so bright and fresh, and I've learned some nifty techniques in sewing the blocks.
This was my first "step"; I followed the dimensions for the "lap" quilt, in order to get a sense of size for the throw. I've since doubled the number of blocks, so right now the quilt is two rows longer and one row wider than what appears on this photo.
First performance last week - Romeo!! Zach's Literature and Theater course at school presented the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. Zach acted in the traditional, Shakespeare version. His classmates "adapted" the original to represent different time periods - cave-man style, Third Reich (Nazi officer and Jewess, Roman and Judith), and then modern, youth culture.
Here's the graduating class' "monument" in the school stairwell - depicting the class theme "Abi mit der Maus"
Second performance of last week - Zach's school music course. He got to do it all - boomwhackers, oboe, sing, AND recorders!! Friday was his last day of normal classes. During this first week of Pentecost vacation he's in Stuttgart visiting his friends Daniel und Philipp; during the second week, he'll be in Vienna with his music course.
