Then I went outside and photographed the driveway under a couple trees. The leaves really did act like a pinhole camera and created little crescent shapes of light on the driveway.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814407420789455322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-82154563728867129962017-08-27T12:47:00.913-05:002017-08-27T12:47:00.913-05:00In spite of the clouds, it sounded like you enjoye...In spite of the clouds, it sounded like you enjoyed the trip - what an event!

As the morning wore on, we could see blue sky out to the west,so decided to head out to lunch and see what we could. When we were part way, the clouds were closing in again to the west so we decided to stay in town instead. It was still cloudy but the clouds would part for little bits of a look. At the time of totality we were headed back home but were able to pull into a parking lot for a look at the height of our partial eclipse. It was so interesting, I would have loved to see the total eclipse. <br /><br />Your new fabrics are so pretty. When I visited Missouri Star, I found it overwhelming. So many pretty things to see. It was hard to decide which pieces to buy. Sounds like a great trip!

I "observed" the eclipse event, but there really was a very slight change in the way things looked here. It was a bright sunny day, and we just weren't in the right place for a dramatic change. But I enjoyed watching it on TV anyway. ---"Love"---"Love"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253789635330034057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-38719685003920344822017-08-26T20:08:34.830-05:002017-08-26T20:08:34.830-05:00What a fabulous trip you had. except for the rain....What a fabulous trip you had. except for the rain.

It was amazing! We were lucky to have good weather. We also fit in stops at Hancock's of Paducah, Quilt in a Day in Paducah, The National Quilt Museum and Whittle's Fabrics in Smith Grove KY. Also did some mountain biking in a state park. All in all, a big success.Lisa Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017561924541178564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-31893192031527841792017-08-26T07:45:01.961-05:002017-08-26T07:45:01.961-05:00We were very fortunate to be able to see the eclip...We were very fortunate to be able to see the eclipse from our front yard. We sat out there in lounge chairs - well, my next door neighbor (and partner in crime AKA quilting, shopping, etc.) did, while DH sat in a different lawn chair. Most neighbors were there with company except the ones working. It was AMAZING!!! So sorry you missed it. Our youngest son, who just moved to Kansas City, KS area had the same problem. The clouds came in 10 minutes before the totality and left about 10 minutes after. Most other relatives lived elsewhere and could only see the partial eclipse. I rarely buy pre-cuts either, except the occasional charm pack. Kind of funny that the fabric cutter seemed a tad bit annoyed at the 1/4 yard cuts! The fabrics look lovely.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-57384986987948224202017-08-26T07:05:39.630-05:002017-08-26T07:05:39.630-05:00Wonderful that you got to see the eclipse!

Glad you got to MSQC and they got to see your gorgeous Eclipse quilt.

And congrats on the recognition at MSQC! Super cool photo and a great story, even if the clouds didn't cooperate. (I watched the eclipse, catching it just right, on the NASA live stream, at work, as Michigan wasn't even close to totality!) I look forward to seeing what you create with your new goodies!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-75830891178388034552017-08-26T03:32:31.233-05:002017-08-26T03:32:31.233-05:00Shame about the rain but the fabric purchase was g...Shame about the rain but the fabric purchase was great Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816490142334340354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-48414717168410678562017-08-26T01:35:11.426-05:002017-08-26T01:35:11.426-05:00Oh, I am so glad the clouds parted for you for at ...Oh, I am so glad the clouds parted for you for at least a bit of totality!<br />We drove 4 hours north to see it. Skies were clear and we enjoyed the whole thing. But you got to shop at quilt shops, too, and I didn't. We drove a few miles out of our way after the eclipse to find a shop, only to discover it had shut down. :( Then it took us 8 1/2 hours to get home, due to bumper to bumper traffic of all of the eclipse chasers trying to get home. But it was worth it.<br />My daughters and I love Anne of Green Gables, too. I'll enjoy seeing what you create from those fabrics.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-52770553949292821522017-08-25T23:44:35.338-05:002017-08-25T23:44:35.338-05:00some good purchases you made have not seen Ann o...some good purchases you made have not seen Ann of Green Gables fabric here in the UK will keep my eyes open everyone loves that book.
