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. 

 

 

 

 

 

I will take a  new set  and repost.

 

 

 

Drawing    I did a little drawing this week.  I always have good intentions , but time gets away from me.

 

 

 

Spring is continuing to open up to us here in New York .   I hope the same is true for all my readers.

Keep Creating
