Eclipse Week

Hello,

I, like many Americans got excited about the Solar Eclipse this week. This is a shot from NASA from one of the satalights . We unfortunately had cloud cover and only caught a glimpse as the moon moved away from the sun. I am glad so many folks have generously shared their images on the net.

My personal event of this week was the Spring Retreat at the Schweinfurth Art Center. I along with lots of friends got a lot of work done.

Liz worked on her quilts for the Beds for Kids project. She made four tops and Pin basted three of them.

Susan stated a new project. I love how she uses color in such a unique way.

Victoria worked away on a new project that is based on a collage that she did in David Horning’s class last summer. It is so different from her usual work , I am excited to see how it develops.

Linda worked on this dye painted work and spent most of the time shading and quilting it.

She also shared her daughter’s cookie art with us. Very tasty!

Sharon worked on her flower quilt and did some dyeing too.

I had my Pixie meeting and I worked on the assignments for Finding Fragments the week..

These little fellows will go off with me to Angel’s for some surface alterations this afternoon as a part of the Fragments class work .

Progress Report: B4 I got this quilt top all assembled at the retreat. The I started quilting on Monday.

I am sure I will finish it before the 100 day challenge is over.

Art II At the retreat, I moved onto putting together the leftover blocks from the Art Blocks project . This top got put together too.

BV II I also put leftovers together from the BV project. I have started quilting this one.

Coral Shores I am sorry that I cut off the frames on this picture. I had to go out side to take the photo and it is raining now so I can’t reshoot. I did get this work done and I am quite pleased with how they look together. They will only hang together in the hall – so I have the same problem with taking a photo there.
