The Ciel Gallery has the photos of my pieces and price list online now. Here is the link. To purchase click on the price.
I will just post one photo of the opening of my show. Some of you might remember I write my post around midnight and set it to publish at 5 a.m. I'm exhausted and have an early class Sat. morning so I'll post more later. Close to the front of the gallery are Vicki Welsh and her mother from Virginia. You might remember it was her orange hand dyed fabric I showed a few days before I left for NC so it was a treat to meet her. It was a great night with lots of positive comments.
This is the front of the gallery building. There is a parking lot to the right of the building. There is a covered garage across street plus metered parking on the street.
128 E. Park Ave., Charlotte, NC. 28203. Closed Sun. and Mon. The . I will be available to meet you at the First Friday Crawl tonight from 6-9, Sat.2-5 and Thurs. 3-6. We still have some openings in the Mon. and Thurs. classes, click here for info. This photo shows the beautiful sign on the front of the building and a peek at my show. I couldn't get a shot without a reflection of cars parked across the street.
We were having a hard time deciding how to display the mug rugs. We had one side of one of the center wall panels that we could use. We bought zebra stripe grosgrain ribbon and little tiny binder clips and were able to hang 27 of them. Several are displayed top of the pedestals and the rest on platforms in front of the large windows. We had several people looking in at them and sold one already before we even had prices on the merchandise.
This was the blank canvas at the beginning of the day yesterday.
This is the same wall looking to the back. They have movable pedestals so we can get creative. The floor is cement that is finished with many different colors. 
The first 2 pieces are up and measuring for the third that will hang below them.
I stayed on the floor and played director while they climbed the ladders. We got a lot accomplished but have lots of small details to take care of today.
I don't remember if I mentioned that I had mugs made with photos of some of the quilts on them. I also have note cards and postcards. The pedestals work great for little displays. We were tired and hungry so we just set a few things out and left. We went to see the movie "The Avengers" last night. I have not seen any of the previous movies with these superheroes in them. It was a good movie.
Here are my porch pots this year. I will do some annuals in pots when I get home. I don't expect the house sitter to do it but it would be a nice surprise if they did.
Here are some more pots. Oh, these are in NC! I arrived safely yesterday, screeners that didn't think I looked dangerous at the security check, and an uneventful, on time flight.
The pots are on the deck by the screened in porch. It was getting humid late in the afternoon so we retreated in to the air conditioning. We start hanging the show today. I'll take some in progress shots. 
I have been making more cobblestone blocks. Every session I seem to choose a different color group to work with. I try to remind myself to make some tiny blocks because I really like the ones I sewed 4 together to make a block in one of my earlier pieces.
I made this group at a different time of the day yesterday. I have 130 blocks to play with now.
I have lots blooming in the wild front flower bed. There are coral bells, red penstemon, cranesbill and evening primrose in this photo. Balloon flowers and orange tiger lilies will be next. There is also a maple tree, rose of sharon and a redbud tree. This is the garden that I was going to tackle this year but I ended up with the finishing blitz instead. With the lack of rain it wouldn't have been successful anyway.
The hydrangea blossoms are just starting to turn white. They will go back to lime green later in the summer. This bush is in full sun now that my redbud tree has been cut down.
This group of red penstemon planted itself along the edge of the sidewalk in front of the goldmound spirea. I may try to move these plants after they are done blooming.
Another record breaking heat wave...96 yesterday, 92 today. I was talking to a friend and she said her hostas looked like mine and they weren't in the sun so it is heat stress, with maybe a little sunburn. I stayed inside all day, laundry, to do lists before I leave, etc. Today I will meet with the house sitter and finish packing. I made a few more cobblestone blocks and hope to do a few more today.
