Larry Ogden, a retired geology professor, has been cross-
stitching since 1991, designing his own patterns of mostly
locally seen birds, especially the more colorful ones. The
markings are as close to reality as the sizes of the stitches allow.
A resident of Chelsea, he just celebrated his 90th birthday!

I am a knitter/quilter/chemist who enjoys experimenting
with wool and hot water to make fulled (felted) bags and
other objects. Since I play with wool types until I get to
know them, I can usually knit to an idea and get the desired
object. The colors and textures make my heart skip a beat.
