| The finished piece! |

Tomorrow (August 21, 2017) is the much anticipated total eclipse of the sun. In my neck of the woods about 80% of the eclipse should be visible. Today I decided that I would create a felted art quilt to commemorate this day . . .
I first selected some of the many beautiful pieces of wool roving that I have in my stash to create a background of dark blue with highlights of paler blue along with some gorgeous turquoise and orange. This has been needle felted to a backing of cotton quilt batting. I have just lightly covered the backing so that tomorrow...during the eclipse...I can spend the time adding the specialty fibres to represent the actual solar eclipse.

I will be working at the Shuswap Artisan Market in Sorrento tomorrow (10am-4:30pm) and you can drop by and watch me add the details to create this piece.
