Dutchman Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 No quilt (yet) but I was impressed by the colors at sundown last wednesday. Because of the erruption of the vulcano in Iceland we had a spectacular sundown. So when we are not working on our new Art & Stitch software which will be released on Monday, April 26 I am doing some photography Regards Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Wow Theo. That would make an amazing art quilt. I love the boat with the sunset in the background...and the colors are beautiful...and the water...and the pier...oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Theo, That is a beautiful photo. Peaceful. Thanks for sharing. After Mt. St Helen's erupted years ago in Washington state (West coast of the US) we had some incredible sunsets here on the east coast. I wonder how far the ash from Iceland is going to spread.

Quiltsinmotion Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Theo amazing photos we have been seeing some of the details on the news ~ with the airports closed what a mess ~ wonder if those from UK that were at MQX are chilling out in a airport or did they make home ?

IQuiltToo Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just had a call from a couple near London. They are supposed to fly over to Los Angeles next Thursday to come spend a week with us and then drive to his fathers place in No. CA. They can't see it, but have no idea if they will get out of Heathrow or not. Their son and family have been on holiday in Africa and cannot leave. He is due back at work tomorrow (Monday for them), kids are due to return to school. The ash is disrupting a lot of people! The sunsets are incredible- beautiful pictures.

mswings Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Gorgeous sunset. Too bad a volcano erupted to give such a beautiful sight. I guess it shows how good things can come out of disaster. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltermidwife Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yes, I've heard that sunsets have been beautiful. However we were due to fly home to the UK today and as expected the flight has been cancelled. We spent 4 hours at Providence airport trying to sort alternative flights. Currently the earliest we can fly is in a weeks time!!!! Have managed a flight to Houston from Boston for tomorrow (Sunday) where hopefully we will fly home from in a week. Wish us luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathG Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Good luck on getting a flight Chris, From the news here in the UK everything is grounded, the earliest they expect flights to start again are sometime tomorrow, but this seems to keep on changing. The volcano is still throwing out tons ash and they say as yet they do not know when it will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltermidwife Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Linzi Did you hear how Mandy & Izzie got on. They obviously didn't fly yesterday and I haven't managed to get hold of them. Lots of stranded people here in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 No contact from other Brits or Merete, Chris... Staying on is fine as long as we don't have to hang around airport. Hoping we can just check in online and get info. Hmm, bet that doesn't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Theo...beautiful picture! Linzi & Tracy, I know you are having a wonderful time with Bonnie! She is so warm and giving, and very kind. Ask her about what we were giggling about Friday night in the room. I really can't elaborate about it on the chat. ;):P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njquiltergirl Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I hope our European friends are well. I have been thinking about you and your trip back home. Linzi and Tracy are going to Houston, how cool is that! Chris, are you home? I really enjoyed meeting you all at Fire & Ice, you are a doll! I hope you all check in so we know you are OK or need a place to stay or some guidance. Lisa APQS Liberty Circle Lord NW NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltermidwife Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Lisa Thanks for thinking of us. I think Linzi and Tracy are in New York. I am in Houston, fortunately with my husband. Some other UK friends have been taken in by kind quilters in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagLadyQuilting Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 To my Quilting Sisters Linzi and Tracy: Finally caught up with you two. Just a note to say don't you two go sleeping at any airport, both Newark Liberty and JFK airports look like College Spring break in Panama City, Florida, and you can't get a hotel for any amount of dollars. So, remember you ladies have a HOME in New York, just 20mins. taxi ride from JFK. About the dinner for 26 ! ! ! That was a PARTY, sounded like so much fund. Sorry I missed it, but my guild had their bi annual quilt show this weekend so I wanted to be there, next time. The volcano sitution is not sounding positive, especially when you hear that England and France make the statement this morning that they are considering sending their fighters to New York (war ships because they are large enough) to pick up their citizens and bring them home. LOVE you girls, Marilynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewlinzi Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks for worrying about us, Marilynn!! We are OK with Bonnie nr Albany at the moment and just waiting for further travel advice... we hope to sort out a storage room in Bonnie's studio if we are delayed any more!
