A little yoga is good for the body, especially if you will be hunched over a sewing machine for much of the day. Anni didn't seem to understand that Savasana (the Corpse pose) is just a nice rest. I'm not dead.
See? Proof that I'm not dead. This was Friday before we departed.
I managed to complete my wee project. Next I need to learn how to do binding on those weird angles. (Well, actually the next step is getting it quilted. Then the binding.)
One of the reasons I love the Beach Girls (there are many reasons 💓) is the field trips we end up on. I see things I would not otherwise see. This time it was in Seaforth, On. We went to the exhibit of Prince quilts. This is a competition dreamt up by Cherrywood Fabrics, to feature their fabrics. I've seen both the Van Gogh and Prince exhibits now. They are incredible. Here's a sampling...
This will give you an idea of the size of the pieces. I think they're 20" x 20". There were 150 quilts on display.
If you can zoom in on these pics you'll get a much better idea of the work - both hand and machine, the beading, and the abundance of crystals.
Here's one...
And a closeup...
Here's another...
And a closeup...
Another closeup...
I liked this one. You can see that it was a ribbon winner. It made me think of my brother, who also has a 'vette.
And a closeup.
If you're ever within driving distance of one of these exhibits, GO! Seriously. Just GO!
In other, more boring news, I've finally started painting that gawd-awful brick around my fireplace. That's been bugging me for more than 20 years. DH is not happy with me, but since he's managed to walk past this vignette for two days without even noticing the ladder & plastic, should I really care?
