There was no sewing over the weekend as I was helping DD with her 8th grade diorama. She was given the task to make a *teepee* and a scene depicting the lifestyle using *your structure*. First she gathered twigs then about 5 hours later~we had the first smaller teepee. It was a struggle but thank goodness for my stash of osnaburg cloth! Her second teepee went together much faster. We also made a couple trips across town to the Michael's. I think the one salesgirl now *knows* us...
She was worried about the dead bison scene as being too violent for *school content* but I told her that killing animals was a way of life for the Indians and they needed the dead animals to survive. oh, and hide it behind one of the teepees! Pretty cool red nail polish, right?!
So I am a little late today as I just sewed together one background and then fused the lighthouse parts. I'm liking this, too. Now to have a little lunch and fuse the remaining lighthouses. :)

Love the lighthouse block. Can you tell me what pattern you are using? I picked up a bit of lighthouse fabric on a trip to Maine several years ago and I think applique blocks is just what I am looking for to use with it.
Thanks,
Donna
The diorama should receive a superior rating. Nice job!
The sky fabric is perfect for the lighthouse.
Realistic diorama! We know that DD is compassionate about animals and doesn't go around killing things.
Cool Lighthouse.
