Quilt Squares from the H side of the family

Today was a day when all the quilt squares that arrived were from people with the same last name as us! It's H day!

First, from Mom and Dad H, are these two embroidered squares. The first one is an adorable panda. If we go to Beijing a day early, perhaps we'll get to the zoo there to see some!
The other square that they sent has a building that some of you may recognize, especially my brother and some other college friends. This is the Old Main building on the campus of California University of PA, where K and I went to college. It is the building that serves not only as the icon for the school, but also as the residence of the president of the school. I also remember that it had overheated classrooms on the third floor, and a beautiful stained glass dome in the lobby of the president's office that was "discovered" when it was exposed during a construction project. My brother and his wife also went to Cal U, and K's family's history with the school goes back a few more generations - his father taught there for the bulk of his career, and his maternal grandmother was a graduate of the school when it was California State Teacher's College in the 1920s.

Thank you so much - these are cherished additions to the quilt!!!

And now, from K's brother and his wife, E and M, in coastal GA, comes this music-inspired print. E and M are HUGE music fans. They've probably been to more concerts and performances than anyone I know. And E is an admirer (and collector) of fine guitars. Thanks a bunch, Uncle E and Aunt M!


Finally, E and M's daughter, DJ, sent along this cute square in honor of her Irish heritage. Let's see, we have a DJ and an EJ in the family...what will the next H granddaughter be named?!?!? Thanks, D!
