Musical Mice

Heather was learning to crawl when I started teaching piano lessons in our home. Her brothers studied percussion, wind and string instruments. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when my daughter started asking for music lessons of her own. I’d read about the good things that can come of providing enrichment activities like this for children with Down Syndrome. So I set out to look for a teacher who was willing to take her on. It was a harder task than you might think, but eventually we found Brittany. She’s a great teacher – enthusiastic, supportive and patient. Almost twelve years ago, when Brittany was expecting her first baby, I made this quilt for her from Northcott’s Musical Mice line in garnet, royal blue, jade and banana. I’ve searched in vain for the names of the two blocks used in this quilt. They really should have names of their own, but I don’t know it what they are.
