."A Timeline of a Miner's Life"
Marcia Karls, Park Meadows Elementary School, Glendale, Arizona
Overview: This lesson plan focuses on the life of Arizona miners from the early 1800s to present day. It allows the students to see how economy and geography has changed over the years through a miner's life. It uses realistic fictional characters for language and reading to help the students relate to the life of a miner. Students will use primary and secondary resources to establish information about the miner's life. Through recreating a miner's camp, students will be able to not just read about the miners, but be able to recreate some the daily affairs of a miner. The students will learn how the miners used the gold and minerals that they found for trade or money. They will use math skills to learn how to weigh gold at the "General Store". Students will view photographs to help gather information along with the using letters, documents, and interviews. Students will also view recent information about present day miners to be able to compare the past to present miner life. This lesson will be cross-curricular with differentiated learning incorporated into the lesson.
Recommended Grade Level:
Fourth - Fifth Grades.
Time Required:
Five, 45 minute sessions, four sessions would be better, but can do it in three sessions; one to introduce the miner and establish prior knowledge, one for investigation time where students look at, compare, and research photographs, along with listening to audios, one for setting up camp and panning for gold, one for visiting the camp, one for shared writings and assessments. With using the Three day sessions, you might want to opt watching a movie on the book, rather than reading the book in its entirety.
The following objectives will be achieved during this lesson for all levels of learning.
" Students will look at the history of a miner through the use of primary and secondary resources.
" Students will create a living museum of a miner's camp and store.
" Students will be able to understand weight using both past and present measuring tools.
" Students will learn how the economy worked in a miner's camp and surrounding towns.
" Students will use map skills to create mine location maps
" Students will compare and contrast life as a miner from past to present.
" Students will create a timeline of a miner's life.
" Students will practice shared reading skills through whole and small group reading.
Materials/ Teacher Preparation
One week before lesson:
*Teacher needs to have available creative tools; such as markers or crayons, paper and pencils. The teacher will also provide folders or file folders to keep ongoing work in as students do class work.
*The teacher and the students need to research what might have been in a General Store and create a list. For example, flour, sugar, pie pans, etc.
*The teacher will need to send a note or letter home asking for items for their miner's camp and other items needed for the general store. Refer to the sample letter at the end of the lesson plan that may be simply reproduced and sent home, this is just a sample and may be modified to suit individual needs.
*The teacher will gather materials such as old blankets, pots, tripod, scales and other weighing tools.
*The teacher will need to acquire pie pans (aluminum ones or restaurant ones will do), a small child's pool (blow up or plastic), rocks of various sizes, and gold spray paint, also small bags to put gold in. Refer to the Sources Used for the Lesson for links to certain educational resources that you can order some of these supplies for at a minimal cost or ask for some donations. Prior to the lesson the teacher needs to spray paint the rocks gold. These will be used for when students pan for gold.
*Teacher will have a copy or copies of Brighty of the Grand Canyon by Marguerite Henry. Check with your local library for a copy. Also, if you need an alternative to the book, there is a movie version of the book. If time is an issue, group students into small groups and assign chapters for groups to read and report back on to the class. Depending on the academic levels in your classroom, choose what fits your classroom needs. This is a great way to differentiate the lesson.
*Teacher will use the AMP collections to select and arrange to receive the selected photographs from the appropriate depository. Refer to the Sources Used for the Lesson, AMP Digital Sources, for the URLs and Digital Identifiers of the suggested photographs, documents, or audio used.
Two days prior to the lesson:
*The teacher will create a timeline on chart paper and also have one for each student as a part of their assessment. Teacher will also create a Venn Diagram and a handout of a blank Venn Diagram for each student. A sample timeline and Venn Diagram can be found at the end of the lesson plan.
*The teacher will have primary and secondary examples to show to students; such as maps, photos, autobiographies, and biographies. (Please remember these are just examples and there are other primary and secondary resources that may be used.)
*Teacher will prepare and use appropriate technology so selected resources may be listened to or displayed for small group and whole group learning. This may include computers, projection technology, and audio equipment.
*The teacher will have maps for displaying locations of mines and maps for each student, so they can fill in the placement of mines, of Arizona or the region being studied. If teacher does not have a miner's map or physical map please refer to Sources Used for the Lesson part of this plan.
On days of the lesson:
The teacher will divide the class into small groups and have materials ready, there is some individual work for students throughout the lesson. If a camera or video camera is available remember to capture these educational moments to display later for the students, your school, or anyone else you want to show what awesome learners you have.

Possible Procedures
Day One (1)
? Introduce the lesson by asking the questions "What is mining?" and "What is a miner?" As students answer, list their answers on the wipe board or overhead or begin a word bank.
? After a brief over view of the students answers, introduce the book Brighty of the Grand Canyon. Explain to students that over the next few days and class periods, they will be reading this book or that they will be divided into groups and each group will be assigned chapters to read, discuss, and report back on to the class. As they read they will learn more about a miner's life. Also in the next few days, tell the students that they will become a part of this life and will create names for themselves and that as a class they will recreate a miner's camp. Explain that they will learn many aspects of a miner's life not just from this book, but from maps, pictures, and even speakers of the past. Get the students excited about their journey into the past in a miner's life.
? Pass out copies of the book, if you can not get enough printed copies of the book, then copy pages for students to share. Have the students look at the illustrations on the cover and back, while they are looking; pass out a map of the United States to each student. Ask the students, just by looking at the book where do they think it takes place? Then have them mark Arizona and the Grand Canyon on their maps. Have them keep their maps so they can mark other important places as the lesson continues. Have them put it in their folders.
? On day one, read the foreword and pages 13 - 48 either as shared reading or small group reading. Also as they read discuss the pictures, map, and "miner's language" that is present in the book. Have them answer as a group Questionnaire A (Found in the resource section.) If students are working in small groups have them begin reading their portion of the book. For example Group A would begin Chapter 1, Group B - chapter 2, and so on. OR if time is an issue and you choose the video, have students fill out Questionnaire B during or after they watch the movie.
? Have students listen to the following AMP audio of a historical presentation about mining, then discuss the language, word usage, and key points that they heard.
The Early History of the Ajo Mine
? At the end of the lesson, have them add more vocabulary to the word bank.
Day Two (2)
? Review the pages read in the prior lesson. Ask the students if this book is true, what is the genre? This is the time to introduce primary and secondary resources.
? Ask the students, "What does Primary mean? Secondary? What is a resource? Then ask them if we put the words together as word phrase then what do they mean? So, what is Primary Resource? Secondary Resource?" Add these to your word bank, maybe even putting an asterisk or star next to them (somehow highlighting them).
? After defining these terms, ask them if they can tell some examples; then show them a few examples that you have brought. Make a Primary Resource table and a Secondary Resource table of examples. Then ask what is the book we are reading, Brighty of the Grand Canyon, as they answer, make sure you place a copy of the book on the appropriate table, either primary or secondary resource.
? Read and discuss pages 49 -86; or have student groups report on their chapter readings. Remember to discuss the illustrations, what they are wearing, doing, etc. After the class has done the assigned reading, briefly
? Divide the class into five groups. Each group will look at a different AMP photograph. The list of linked AMP selected photographs are:
Sharlot Hall Panning for Gold
Blue Bird Mining Camp
Assay Office Baumann Camp
A Placer Miner's Cabin
Cook Tent and People at Crown King Mine
? Have students in their groups fill out "Reading an Image; Photo Analysis Form",(Found in resource section at end of lesson) this will guide students as they observe and discuss photographs. If time allows have students rotate so they can observe other photographs. Also, repeat the fact that photographs are a primary resource. Have them turn in the forms.
? Have students come together as a class and briefly discuss what the students observed. Hand out drawing paper and creative materials, along with writing paper. Have students draw a picture of a mine, mining camp, or what they believe a mining area may look like back in history. Have the students put themselves into the picture, following their drawing have them write a page or two autobiography of themselves as this person in history, also have students include a map of their travels,(have them use the US map given to them prior.) Have them be creative, using mining names; have them look at maps and use real town names in Arizona, they could also use mining maps. These maps are included in the resource section of this lesson. This may carry over to day 3, so allow time for students to complete assignment.
Day Three (3)
? Allow students time to finish autobiographies and pictures in history.
? Choose a few students to read and show their work. Discuss the important points of mining, the lifestyles, and setting. Collect their works, pictures, and maps.
? Read pages 87-135 in Brighty of the Grand Canyon and discuss briefly the story's characters and setting. (Or have students report on their chapter readings.)
? Discuss with students reasons why people came out west to mine and what they needed to survive. Have them write a list of "items to take" on their trip out west as they start to live a miner's life.
? Explain to the students when the lesson continues next that the class will be taking a step back in time and they will become their miner's life. Assign certain students as cooks, bankers, general store keepers, miners, or whatever other positions the students come up with, if the students want to bring or wear items that may represent their character they are welcome to do so, but not necessary.
? Before day four, set up the room to represent a miner's camp from the 1800s - 1900s. Prior to this day, the teacher should have gathered appropriate materials to help representation. Put sand and water in the small pool and place "gold" in the water. You may do this inside or outside. Be creative and have fun.
Day Four (4)
? Read pages 136 - 172 in Brighty of the Grand Canyon discuss the progression of the story and the character development thus far, also discuss the new characters that have been introduced; or have groups report on their readings, they could use their reading questionnaires.
? The rest of this day will be dedicated to reenacting a miner's life. Guide students to pan for gold using pans and have them put their findings in a small bag. Then have them go to the bank to weigh their gold, demonstrate to students how to measure and weigh the gold or minerals found; have the banker give money or notes in exchange for gold. Finally, have miners go to the General Store to purchase items like flour, textiles, etc. (Although guns were a large part of life in the history, remember this is a classroom setting.) Have students take turns and go through the miner's life.
Day Five (5)
? Finish reading Brighty of the Grand Canyon; Have students write a book review, you may want students to use a form, but not necessary or have them write a summary of the book. Collect the summary or book review. All students could write a book review even if they did certain chapters, another way for this assessment is to do a collaborative book review as a class, having each student write something about the book.
? Review with the class the miner's life and ask them what the miner has an effect on. Look for answers like make money, spend money, digging or using nature, changing the ecosystem. Then have the students define economy and put economy in the word bank. Discuss with students how mining has changed and how do they think it has changed. Explain to them they will see a short video that will portray what mining is like today. Have them take notes if needed. Remind them to listen and observe carefully for some of the changes from past to present.
? Next, introduce today's miner. Show pictures or video - the following link will link you to the FX - Phelps- Dodge Corporation and will show how mining has become global and a major part of our global economy.
12+ Minute Video on Mining
? After the video or review of pictures hand out a Venn Diagram to each student; while the papers are being past out either draw one on the board or put a copy on the overhead. (There is an attachment of a Venn Diagram at the end of the lesson.)
? Review with the students the use of the Venn Diagram and what each part represents.(This should be review; however, if it is not you may want to explain further.) Then explain to the students that the assignment will be for each of them to use the Venn Diagram and compare the past miner to the present and how they were alike and how they were different.
? Collect the Venn Diagrams then together as a class fill out the Venn Diagram on the board or overhead.
? Finally, recap what they have learned about the life of a miner. Discuss with them what the jobs were like in the past and what new jobs have surfaced now in the industry (i.e. chemists, geologists, etc.) Review with the students the collective word bank they have created over the lesson periods and have them review the definitions of each. Discuss with them the importance of connecting with our history and how a miner's life is an important part of Arizona's history and will continue to be an important part.
? Day Two : Students will fill out Reading an Image/Photo Analysis Form. Students will complete this form showing what people, objects, buildings, landscape, and activities present in the photograph. Students will also estimate the time period and location of the photograph. The forms(s) will be assessed as a classroom assignment either as formative or summative by the teacher.
? Day Three: Students will write an autobiography of themselves as a miner living back in the Arizona mining days. The autobiography should state where they came from, any family, how they came out west, what they saw as they traveled, what they thought when arriving in Arizona. They should also describe their life as a miner, what do they live in, eat, what is their environment like. The paper should be 2-3 pages long. Included with the paper should be a drawn picture of a representation of them as a miner, they should also include a map of their journey with the paper, showing where they started and the route they took to get where they are presently mining. The teacher will collect and assess formally this assignment for writing and social studies knowledge or students could present their paper orally.
? Day Five: Students will write a 1 page summary or book review (Example found in resources) about Brighty of the Grand Canyon. The summary should include an introduction of the book stating the setting and characters. It should also include the main idea or event that happened in the book along with additional characters that were introduced in the book. The final part of the summary should include the conclusion of the book stating what happened in the end and how the mystery was solved; it should also have a personal opinion of the student about the book. The teacher will assess this assignment for understanding the summary process, comprehension of the book, and written fluency. Could also be done as a class. This assessment still can be used if the book is read in small groups or if the class has watched the movie.
? Day Five: Students will fill out a Venn Diagram comparing the differences and similarities of miners or a miner's life from the past and present. The Venn Diagram will be assessed as a classroom assignment and more as a formative assessment to see if there is comprehension of the content and understanding of the use of a Venn Diagram.
Evaluation and Extension
Some extension activities would be to take a field trip to a mineral and mining museum or a mine. Another extension would be to have students research the environmental affects of mining both past and present and create a poster board presentation for the class. Expand on the math concepts and have students create a money system of their own.

Dear Families,
In the next few weeks our class will be studying Arizona miners both past and present. We will begin this exciting journey from Arizona's early mining and we will end as we learn what mining is like now. Students will learn about the life of a miner through reading and experiencing activities about mining history. They will pan for "gold" and learn about the importance of its value in the daily life of a miner through using gold as money at a general store or how to weigh the gold. As we venture on this historical journey there are a few items we may need a long the way. If you could have your student bring in one of the items listed below this would help in our true experience. Thank you for your help in creating a great learning experience for our students.
General Store items needed Mining Camp items needed
1 bag flour 2 tarps
1 bag sugar 4 pieces of wood
2-4 scoops (like measuring or ice scoops) 4 old blankets
1 bag each of rice, grain, and beans 2 old small cooking pans
Tin pie pans (like from Marie Collander's or foil ones)
Pair of men's shoes or boots (old)
Plain white apron
If you have any other items or ideas you would like to contribute please let me know.
Thank you and let the journey begin!!

The Big winner is ATI, and the 6970 in CrossFire and it's odd that their performance numbers were not included in the review, due to the fact that the GTX 590 is a dual graphics cards) This is no doubt a powerful card (GTX 590) , but the best value comes from ATI. I admit I was hard on the 6970 when it debuted, As I look back , it had excellent performance all around , plus 4 monitor set up right out of the box if you need it that.
Put two 6970 and you will be rocking any game @ high details. Don't get me wrong, the GTX 590 is an amazing feat, both for its size , noise level, engineering and driver support, but it failed to really topple the 6990.
If money is no Object, I might be inclined towards two 6990... for value performance, I would choose two 6970 in crossfire.

ATI Radeon 6870+ 1TB Hitachi HD+ 750w Modular PSU + Asetek Liquid Cooler + DigitalStorm PC
Thanks To HotHardware.Com
The price tag on this card is insane as with most of the new high-end cards. I know they may be in some cases worth their weight in gold, but man thats almost half the cost of my last rig. I will have to save up for a new card soon. All I can say is wow I could put a down payment on a new motorcycle for that much.
Intel i7 920
EVGA GTX 285 2GB FTW x 1
6 GB Corsair Dominator
Asus P6T v2
well its finaly here maybe the price will drop for some other earlier cards.
With BF3 coming out later this year with its focus on the PC market how can you not have a BC2 benchmark? If there's one game that this card will play it is BF3! On top of it, BC2 is one very graphical and awesome game so should be a benchmark even without BF3.
I'm upgrading from a GTX 295 to a GTX 580, which is currently on the way. I expect a good increase in performance but these numbers have me intrigued but my wallet scared.
Schmich: I tend to disagree. While it does look awesome graphically, benchmarketly it's a little disapointing as even with a 580 at 920Mhz you can get high framerates even with a higher-resolution, so yeah...
Besides, while I like the game (and the fact that I won it in an HH contest myself.) It stresses the GPU card in terms of temperature rather then framerates, I got like 72-76 degrees playing with BF:BC2 compared to the meager 66-71 degrees I get benchmarking with Heaven or Crysis.
"The future starts with you; now start posting more!"
If you have to play everything in the highest detail possible than you need a top of the line graphics card like this or the 6990. Personally I always stay 1 step below top of the line when building a rig since the brand new cards are so expensive and only top of the line for a few months at best. I also am more focused on lag when playing games than having to play at the absolute highest graphics settings. It's more about the experience than the eye candy for me.
I agree, buying middle of the road seems like wisest option; the gtx 570 and 580 are amazing cards that wont cost you 700! Yikes! I do a lot of 3D and after effects work so I usually skimp on the graphics card and put more money towards the processor and ram. This card is a beast though, good work nvidia!
Now you're just mashing it!
would rather have the dual 580's in my pc... although im kinda curious to what they are able to overclock the 590 at? if it can get up there then i might purchase it :)
This looks good I think they are heading in the right direction. They have needed something big to compete with the 6990.
ATI sucks balls I own a asus 5970 now there drivers are terrible never had a stable driver since 10.4's been waiting for the geforce 590 for awhile to trade.
ya dual 580's will do me just fine ;P lol
Price is not on my side here! :( but does pretty good, not the best but can preform nicely.
What would BC2 performance have to do with BF3? The games will have totally different performance profiles. The numbers from one mean nothing in comparison to the other.

Jesta42o at least ATi drivers doesn't kill cards like Nvidia's do lol.
Excellent read. I also really dug the animated tour of the card on top of page 2. FANCY
I always buy the fastest card out and am a little surprised the GTX 590 couldn't beat the HD 6990.
I'd be interested to see how well two 590s compare to a couple of 6990s in a multi-monitor setup.
Intel 920 / Rampage II Extreme / Dominator 6GB DDR3-1600 / Gigabyte SuperOC 5870 / Torqx 128GB
I do love NVIDIA a lot, but the price tag on this thing could scare away some of the most avid gamers! The best way to get a good gaming experience would be to go SLI with the lower NVIDIA 500 series, or with RADEON 5000 or 6000 series cards. Heck even three-way Crossfire has proven to scale very well for both NVIDIA and ATI cards: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crossfire-sli-3-way-scaling,2865.html
Although ATI wins that battle... sadly I think that my fanship of NVIDIA is coming to an end! :'-(
The GTX 590 is $699, same as AMD Radeon HD 6990. I don't see a compelling reason to pick Nvidia's card over ATI's.
I may be buying this card, sure I might be envious towards the 6990 but I don't know if ATI has enabled Supersampling AA for DX11 on their cards yet, and that for me is a major turnoff for now (yes I know there's a program but I don't know if it'll work with Crossfire or not.)
Guess who's working on that right now? :) Umm... it was a bit challenging, let's say though.
Editor In Chiefhttp://hothardware.com
These cards seem to be on pretty even footing really. I know the numbers don't say it completely, but really the degree of performance with doth the ATI/AMD and Nvidia cards is astronomical. I am and have been an ATI user for quite some time, yes I have owned Nvidia hardware, but ATI has been my default. I even still have my original ATI All in wonder Pro lol. But the thing here is that for about $100 less you could crossfire or SLI a couple of these for cheaper. I know it is $100 dollars, but if you are gonna blow $700 bucks on one video card why not just get three and do the real combination thing anyway really.
Is this the card that came out with the limited addition of "Crysis" ??
I seriously need to upgrade. my graphic card is low...or i should say ok. i have GeForce 335m, i want a new one...but which is better Nvidia or Radeon?
i really dont know the difference.
The article has been updated with quad-SLI and quad-CrossFireX (plus 2-way SLI and CrossFire) in all of the game tests.
one of these would be nice to have.

Patriot Pyro 128gb SSD
The quad-GPU scaling is really awesome.But I would like to see 6970 Three way crossfirex or gtx 580 3 way SLI scaling. I think they would beat the quad -GPU performance of the likes of gtx 590 or 6990.
The following link shows that a radeon HD 6950 gives an impressive scaling result of close to 250% at 2560*1600(which by the way is the lowest resolution that someone spending so much money is going to play on).
Nvidia has in the past been the flagship for the higher performance cards and ATI a.k.a. Radeon's (now AMD) has been the bang for buck card allthough they do have high end performance cards too.
At the moment, their in a gridlock and for the best cards available the pricing is the same but for an upgrade I would go with AMD/ATI.
For really cheap at around $100+/- I'd go with a GTX 460 or Radeon 5770, if your looking to get into the $200 range, I think the Radeon 5850 or 6870 will give you some a noticeable difference as well
Also an option well worth considering at $200 range is 5770 cfx
I love both ATI and Nvidia, but price/performance wise, ATI wins by a longshot. I also think that NVIDIA chickened out with the 590. They could have tried to achieve higher clock speeds, but they slimmed it down by a lot considering that its two 580s that are in there.
Well writen article. if I was to buy one, I would probably go for the Radeon instead of the GeForce, but not just becase of the numbers, also because of their support (ie drivers). They are still writing drivers compatible with their 3xxx series cards, where as nvidea doesn't support anything that old, to the best of my knowlege.

Blackwelder column: Maybe it's not a dogwood — it could be viburnum
SALISBURY — The cooler than normal spring weather in some situations has prolonged and intensified colors of flowering trees throughout the county. Warm, sunny days and cool nights also promote cool-season turf growth and development necessary for survival in the impending hot summers. Below is a few questions from homeowners posed during the week about flowering trees and lawn care.
Question: There are a number of small trees with white, profuse blooms throughout the county. Some of them have flat, fan-shaped blooms. I have been told they were most likely some type of dogwood, but these don't look like a typical dogwood. Are these kousa type dogwoods?
Answer: No, they most likely are not kousa dogwoods. It's a little too early for kousa dogwoods. They normally leaf out first and then bloom. However, there are some trees blooming with flat blooms that are dogwoods. Yellow and red twig dogwoods are now in full bloom. Also in full bloom are a number of viburnum cultivars. These plants resemble yellow and red twig dogwoods but are very different. The leaves are always opposite with short buds that resemble deer tracks at the nodes. Look for kousa dogwoods to bloom later this spring.
Question: There is a weed in my lawn when I was a kid we called sour weed. It has a tall, reddish-colored stalk about 12 inches and has invaded my lawn. What is the real name for this weed and what do I do to control this weed?
Answer: What you have is red sorrel. The leaves can be fatal to livestock when eaten in large quantities. The mature leaves of red sorrel have a very unique arrowhead shape, and form a rosette. Use a lawn weed killer that contains 2-4,D and banvel. It may require multiple sprays to control the weed.
Question: I have some type of joint grass that is invading my lawn. What is this grass and how do I control it?
Answer: It's most likely Bermuda grass. Control for Bermuda is best done with foliar sprays of glyphosate when the plants are actively growing in the heat of summer.
Question: I have some irises that I want to move. When is the best time to move bearded irises?
Answer: The best time to plant bearded iris is July through September. This will allow them to become well established before winter. Container-grown iris can be planted in the spring. For a mass of color, plant at least three rhizomes (spaced 8 to 10 inches apart) or plant undivided clumps; point each fan of leaves away from the center of the group. Clumps should be spaced 18 inches apart. Go to http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/hil/hil-8506.html for more detailed information.
Question: There is a large shrub I see blooming in the county that looks like a big snowball bush. The bloom looks just like a hydrangea bloom, but it is snow white. What is this shrub?
Answer: The shrub is most likely a snowball viburnum. They grow profusely and are in full bloom now.

what a cute mug rugReplyDelete
I liked this version to zigzag. thanks for sharingReplyDelete
Great project Lee! I may just have to try one of these today. :) Thanks!ReplyDelete
Cute! I've done a zigzag quilt with HST, but have never tried the rectangle version. It looks like it would be a lot easier. I need to give it a try.ReplyDelete
so super cute! I'm on a huge zig zag kick, must try this out!!ReplyDelete
very very cute lee! and very easy! i need to make one of these... just bigger!ReplyDelete
Super cute! I definitely need to give this technique a try sometime!ReplyDelete
This is so cute! I will definitely have to make this! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
very great tutorial and sew cute!ReplyDelete
Thanks for putting the tutorial together! Your method looks to easy! Thank you! and I love your fabric color choice!ReplyDelete
That is really cute!ReplyDelete
awesome tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your methods!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this with us. I LOVE this way to get the zig zag. It's a gorgeous little mug rug.ReplyDelete
Great mug rug. I have been seeing all the different patterns. so fun.ReplyDelete
I am visiting via Angie's blog.
The strip-pieced zigzag is way easier than all those HST's and is how I made the Rainbow Zigzag Quilt specially for my niece. I blogged about it here: http://handmadebyclairebear.com/2012/01/11/wips-on-wednesday-just/ReplyDelete
I'm thinking of making a little one like yours out of all the scraps.
This tutorial is simply wonderful! I'm so making this tonight for my FMQG Mug Rug Swap at our monthly meeting this Saturday. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete

WIP Wednesday #20
Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot to show you this week. I spent most of the last week either working on my Project Selvage print or writing quilt-along instructions. But here's what I've got going on at the moment.
New projects:
Make Mine Modern swap
These strips, plus many more, will hopefully become my final item for the Make Mine Modern swap. I've got a plan for these little strips—a plan that is either ridiculously awesome or completely insane, I'm not sure which. Maybe both? I guess the only way to find out is to just make the darn thing and see what happens. Preliminary tests yielded promising results, but I have a history of coming up with grand visions that are either beyond my skill level to execute, or physically impossible to make from mere fabric. Fingers crossed that won't be the case here!
Ongoing projects:
1. Hope Valley, 2. Supernova Fabrics - Arcadia, 3. Supernova Fabric choices, 4. supernova-color-scheme, 5. nova block mosiac, 6. all, 7. I did it!, 8. Cut Pieces, 9. IMG_3037, 10. FlourishingPalms cut blocks, 11. Supernova QA fabrics 2, 12. supernova placement
Supernova Quilt-Along
Some very pretty fabric up there, don't you think? These are all Supernova quilts in the making, and I can hardly wait to see how they all turn out! You can see all this and more in the Flickr group. And no, it's not too late to join! Click here to find the previous posts on fabric requirements and block planning and cutting. Catching up is still very doable. The first set of piecing instructions goes live tomorrow, and I'll be hosting my first quilt-along link up next Tuesday. Come show off what you've gotten done!
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley (the original Supernova)
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold ... yes, still!
Central Park jelly roll quilt
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 1 (Project Selvage print)
Currently in progress - 10 (same as last week)
So what have you been working on? Link up your WIP posts below—remember to link back to my blog in your post, and please comment on at least a few of the other links. Happy sewing!

Looking forward to seeing your Make Mine Modern project. Your stuff is always great.ReplyDelete
Look at all those piles of fabric you inspired with your quilt along!ReplyDelete
The Supernova mosaic is beautiful, there are going to be a lot of beautiful quilts made using that pattern. I have a dumb question though. How do you make a mosaic? I haven't figured out how to do that yet.ReplyDelete
I'm going out of town next week for Spring break so I'll be a little behind on my Supernova but that's ok.
anything with strings is awesome in my book! I'm sure it will turn out gorgeous as usual :)ReplyDelete
What beautiful fabric "scraps"! Looking forward to seeing the final project! Happy quilting this week!ReplyDelete
Wow-- you have a ton of ongoing projects. I'm amazed! Before I had a blogging life, I worked on a million at a time, but now that I am trying to get stuff finished, I don't have more than about 4 that are ongoing. You are supergirl... but we already knew that:-)ReplyDelete
Hmmm...Pretty curious now about the Make Mine Modern swap! Just finished one project (well, except for the hand quilting), so ready to start with Supernova. Yay!ReplyDelete
whew - Hi! I made it & linked back to you. I do have some quilts happenin' again!ReplyDelete
in Canada
Hi Lee! I just love your blog. Always look forward to WIP Wednesdays! Love that doll quilt you received with the circles and hand quilting. Stunning! I'm following you now for more great ideas! :) KrisReplyDelete

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 9, 2012)—With four days remaining in the Autumn meet, only three players are still alive in the $2,500 winner-take-all Show Me The Money contest at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The free challenge, which began Nov. 8 with 2,409 players, requires a participant to choose one horse each racing day – in six designated races – at least 10 minutes before the first race. The selected horse must finish first, second or third for a player to continue.
The last player left receives the cash prize. Should more than one contestant still be standing at the conclusion of racing Dec. 16 – closing day of the Autumn meet – the winner will be decided by a tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker is number of wins.
The three survivors after 20 racing days are Wayne Benafield (Henderson, Nevada), Anthony Lee (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and Craig Mahl (Anaheim).
Benafield chose second race runner-up Kevin's Kool Kat Sunday while Lee selected fourth race winner Distant Image. Mahl's choice was Euroglide, who finished second in the eighth.
Two players were eliminated in Sunday's fourth race when Miss Lady Ellen finished fourth and Miss Reditore checked in sixth. Another contestant was knocked out for failing to submit a selection prior to the deadline.

JOEL ROSARIO, LEROY'S DYNAMEAUX, Winner: "I wasn't that confident during the race because on the first turn he was trying to get out. Coming to the five-sixteenths he just moved and the other horses were slowing down and I took it from there. He's a little horse but he's a good horse and always tries. The trainer told me there was a lot of speed in the race and to make one run. I just took my time and he did the rest."
ALEX SOLIS, BOGIE, Second: "He ran hard. I just needed a little longer. I thought we had a good chance down the stretch but that other horse was game. On the turn, I was waiting behind a bunch of horses. I wish I could have moved a little early but if I did that, I would have had to go seven wide at the three and a half and I didn't want to do that. I waited a little longer and he did his thing. He's such a big horse it takes him a little bit to get going."
MARK GLATT, LEROY'S DYNAMEAUX, Winner: "We got the pace scenario that we expected. I'm kind of surprised he went off at such a big mutuel because the horse ran extremely well at Golden Gate. He was moved way prematurely and it was his first time around two turns. He had to improve. Whether that would be good enough to win this race remained to be seen. I had a lot of confidence going into the race. That's the thing, he doesn't want to get beat. Other horses may be more talented than him, but he wants to get it and that will win a lot of these races."
Notes: This was the first time the Rogers had been run at 1 1/16 miles since 1994…The previous 14 renewals had been at one mile…The Rogers was not scheduled in 2009.

Comfortable seating was a must-have for the summer house that hosts frequent guests, so designerJune Price selected plush-backed armchairs and a rolled-arm sofa from Charles Stewart. A bench covered in an oversized plaid is easy to move where needed for conversations. The tree painting in the center of a wall arrangement is by Harry Stewart from Stellers Gallery in Jacksonville, Florida. The two smaller landscapes (top and bottom) are by Dawne Raulet from Huff Harrington Fine Art in Atlanta.
One of Nancy's oil paintings hangs above the stone fireplace. Leather wing chairs are from Holland & Company.
A rustic ladder propped next to the fireplace displays throws.
The pumpkin-colored antique table (originally used for shucking oysters) complements the green-gold wood wall. The mirror is made from an old window.
The dining room's French doors and windows are draped with a Lee Jofa linen in an ikat design. The dining table is a French antique and seats up to 12 people when the leaves are extended.
Antique tin containers used to dispense spices were converted into lamps that flank a sculpture on an 18th-century French buffet in the dining room.
The kitchen's custom cabinets with furniture-style details were painted green-gold, and the finish was distressed. Barstools with turned legs and leather seats are from MacRae. Antique glass cloches were converted into light fixtures that are suspended above the island on thick ropes.
Cabinet doors with wire fronts were backed with shirred fabric for a French country style in the butler's pantry. "Nancy is a Francophile," says Price.
A crackle-finish four-poster from the Grizzel & Mann showroom in Atlanta is draped with sheers from Rose Tarlow. "This master bedroom is my favorite of all the houses I've done," Nancy says. "It's very restful."
A French walnut chair, originally used in the Crane House on Jekyll Island, graces the desk that serves as both bedside table and writing desk in the master bedroom.
Nancy found the dresser in the master bedroom sitting area at an antiques market; locally grown dahlias are displayed "mountain style" in a simple metal can. A velvet in a polka-dot pattern on the ottoman adds a lively punch. (See a close-up of the fabric on the next slide.)
A good look at the master bedroom's ottoman. "That fabric is definitely a nod to a more transitional-to-modern style," says Price.
In the master bathroom, a stone tub backsplash was cut to resemble a furniture backboard, says Price. "It's a spa tub, but we don't treat it like a spa tub. We wanted it to be plain and simple to go with the country feel of the house."
A lavender toile fabric from Zoffany was paired with fresh "Sour Apple" green paint from Benjamin Moore for a "girly" but sophisticated room for the Races' daughter, Natalie. A tailored ottoman and armchair make for a cozy and private sitting area. This lower-level bedroom has French doors to a large deck furnished with apple-green-painted Adirondack chairs, a porch swing, and a Ping-Pong table that is rolled out for family tournaments.
The front porch on the left side of the house goes to the pantry and is the family's primary entrance. The porch on the right opens to the foyer and living room. Plantings line the stone walks.
With views like this, is it any wonder Nancy Race took up painting?

You'd expect a top mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer to have excellent business sense. So it shouldn't be surprising to learn that an M&A partner at a leading law firm bought a Manhattan townhouse for $837,000 that is now probably worth more than $7 million.
It's a gorgeous home, very tastefully decorated (which can't be said of all our Lawyerly Lairs). Let's see some pictures and learn more about it, including the identities of the owners….
