Astronomy Picture Quilt

One of my favourite sites is Astronomy Picture of the Day, isn’t this one a beauty? It’s a Meteor and Moonbow over Wallaman Falls, Australia.

But I love this astronomy picture quilt too, by quilter and astronomy enthusiast Judy W. Ross. It’s definitely different and there’s such a lot of work involved in it, it really makes me want to get stuck into quilting.

    • Anbolyn,
      It is a great site, I’m not at all scientific and don’t know much about astronomy but the photos are so lovely.

      It must have taken a lot of hours to make the quilt. I was thinking that I could try to do something like that one square at a time whilst watching the TV but I’m sure it would take me years. I had to correct that from ‘tears’ but that was probably right too!

  1. Both the photos are so lovely!

    We just had our annual international quilt festival a couple of weeks ago – lots of quilters come from Japan every year. Some of the art quilts are just stunning.

    • Lisa,
      I’d love to see your quilt festival. Japanese fabric is so beautiful too, I can’t imagine what their quilters do with it. I’ll have to look them up.

      • Our Houston one is always in October, after the summer weather breaks a bit, and we usually get a good number of UK visitors. You’d have your own personal tour guide đŸ™‚

        • Lisa,
          Thanks for the offer of being a tour guide, if we had that ‘beam me up Scotty’ gadget now and I could be there in a trice then I would go, but I don’t fancy the travelling at all. I was almost talked in to going to New York when a chap waxed lyrical about all the art deco buildings there but then I thought about having to get a visa and and airports and thought better of it! I like armchair travelling.

      We should queue the spooky music (doo-doo-doodo) I did see that quilt too, in fact I have that very brown fabric in my stash pile. I must get around to doing something with it.

  2. You, Evee and Margaret might enjoy http://www.robertarood.wordpress.com latest entry about Alexander McCall Smith’s new book and 2 videos about Scotland. She’s from Baltimore but quite the Anglophile. Goes to the UK as often as possible. Good pictures of villages, concerts, historical sites, etc. Enjoy.

      • Roberta Rood was the first book blog I had ever read, and I had no idea what blogs were!! I also thought the name was Robert Arood. Goodness, did she start something with me, as you did with my new Scottish interests.
