This is my friend Sara, and she and her husband have been friends since I joined the Antique Telescope Society years ago. Here is the interesting thing - she is a PhD who is in charge of antique science instruments at Harvard University! Sara reads my blog and about a year or so she wrote and asked if she could have permission to use a photo of Stellafane that I had done, as the basis of a quilt. I said "Yes" of course. Well, this year at Stellafane, Sara brought two of her quilts and displayed them on the telescope field, and she even won a prize!
So this is the Stellafane quilt that she made. Please click on it to see it in better detail. This is such a magnificent work of art, and she is such a talented artist. The other quilt she displayed was about the recent solar eclipse, showing the partial phases, and then totality, in the center.
These are both beautiful works of art. The detail in the Stellafane quilt is so detailed and intricate, it is amazing. I tried quilting on a large simple scale years ago and the hand stitching is a lot of work.

The detail and color is amazing. I love the Stellafane quilt. It is beautiful! Does she sell them? Trace
ReplyDeleteSara's quilt is really spectacular. Love all the details. She truly is an amazing artist. I haven't done any quilting for many years and I only did pieced geometric shapes. So her work is such a joy to look at. betsey
