Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024

 The Quilters Hall of Fame ( Marion, IN) presented a call for art to celebrate the total solar eclipse that is happening on April 8th. I participated by sending in these photos of my piece called "Behind the Scenes".


AND,  the 18X18" quilt was accepted for display at that Museum. What an honor! It was a fun piece that I thought about for a week or so. I finally decided on these layered circles to represent the sun and the moon. Then I added the phases and lots of stitching with both metallic and regular embroidery threads. The background fabric is one of my favorites from Marcia Derse which is a piece of art all by it's self. I love her fabrics.  Yesterday, I got it ready to mail and I will pop it in the mail today. Wish me luck! Will keep you posted.
