I'm scheming with Jenny (krousegirl2) to make a generous throw-sized quilt for a Sandy Hook student. Our overall theme is "low volume." I may have gone a little bit overboard with the bright colors in choosing some of the prints, but I think Jenny's beautiful blocks will even the score. These blocks of strips will be sewn together in the rail fence pattern.
I plan to straight line quilt this on my machine. I did just recently reach out to a local long arm studio to see if they might consider volunteering to quilt it, but I don't know if they will. It is a busy time for people in their business. I just thought it would be nice to try and see if a longarmer would get involved because it would make it that much more beautiful.
I mentioned a couple of crafty ways to help the community in Newtown on my blog today. Link here:

Glow 2011 Light Festival in Eindhoven.
Volume, by United Visual Artists (UVA).
Volume consists of many columns of light, each equipped with a speaker. Together, the columns turn into an environment that looks a bit like a futuristic forest. The installation uses a camera system to track everyone that moves through it and converts these movements into a specific sound and light pattern. Everyone pulls his own trail through the installation and together the visitors create a totally unique audiovisual web.

I have quite the low volume collection that's perfect for the nearly nude round. I'm a little behind the rest, but I have a plan. What do you think?

Flicker Fighters
After hearing about Sheila Baron hiring various villains to attack his Mum and her company. Ben decided to pay her a visit. He had to change out of his armour since the fire and then treat some of his burns. In that time he spoke with his Mum and told her what happened. Apparently, she decided to work from home the day of the fire. Guess Firelighter didn’t get the memo.
Ben decided he would have a talk with Shiela at Power-Up Pharmacies. See if they could come to an agreement of some sort. He knew someone who had access to hiring villains would have access to bribing cops. So, he figured that even if the villains who were apprehended admitted to her hiring them in court, she would still get away with it. Therefore, Ben had to negotiate with her. After saying his Mum was CEO of Imagine, Shiela’s secretary was more receptive to letting him speak with her. It doesn’t take long before he is called to her office. He enters the room and the two lock eyes. Ben clenched his fists and tried his best to give her a fake smile. It was obvious he wasn’t making an effort to show he didn’t like her. The look in his eyes was enough of a giveaway.
Shiela: “Ben, what a pleasant surprise. How are you?”
Ben: “Cut the crap.”
Shiela: “Ah, you’re one of those people. I like that.”
Ben: “What the hell do you want from my Mum? Why are you trying to destroy her business?”
Shiela: “I’m not. However, your Mum’s business is starting to gain the attention of some of my clientele. So, it’d be nice if she stopped.”
Ben: “So what, just because she’s better at her job than you, you’re trying to get her killed?”
Shiela: “Again, I’m not. Although, it’s my understanding your Mum did have plenty warnings before those events.”
Ben: “You mean death threats?”
Shiela: “I’m not aware of the details. So, I’m sure once you get your Mum to stop growing her business everything will be okay.”
Ben: “So, I get her to stop advancing her business and the attacks and threats will stop? Just like that?”
Shiela: “That’s what I would suggest. Do you think you could do that for her, Ben?”
Ben: “Erm, yeah. I uh, I think so.”
Shiela: “That’s great. So, if that’s everything you need. Then feel to let yourself out. It’s been a pleasure talking to you.”
Ben: “No.... no I’m not doing that. Actually, I have something else in mind.”
Ben takes a hand out from his hoodie pocket, revealing a silver glove. He clenches his fist and gradually it expands and builds itself up into an armoured gauntlet. Shiela stares at it intently as Ben storms towards her with his gauntlet hand raised, reaching out for her. She backs away out of her chair and he clutches her throat and chin in his armoured grasp. He doesn’t even feel her flesh in his metal grip. With a gentle squeeze his armoured fingers tighten around her, silencing the scream she was about to let out.
Ben: “How about this: you don’t harm my mum or her business and I don’t smash your head open like a watermelon?”
For emphasis Ben squeezes her throat a little tighter and roughly pushes her out from his grip, letting her stagger away. She throws herself over her desk clutching her throat and glares at him. However, he can tell there is a hint of fear and surprise in her eyes. She’s clearly not used to this. Perhaps, it’s her first ever physical confrontation.
Ben: “No matter how much villains you throw at my family, I’ll knock them right back down. I know who you are and I will always find you wherever you are. So, do we have a deal?”
Shiela: “Y-Yes. I’ll leave your Mum and her business alone. Just don’t ever let me see you again. Now, get the hell out of my building.”
Ben: “Gladly. This place sucks anyway.”

Flicker Fighters
Firelighter begins to stir after being rammed through the door. For a brief moment Ben contemplates bringing his sword down on him but scolds himself for even contemplating it. Instead, he runs, seeing the ceiling beginning to crumble and crack. Ben makes his way to the window and uses the hilt of his blade to smash the glass. It explodes into glistening shards which sprinkle the ground outside. With a hesitant glance Ben looks down at the fire engines and crowd of onlookers. It must’ve been a 20ft drop down. With his weight in the armour it would be a fatal fall. The alternative, is to fight a Metahuman with flamethrower hands. Not to mention the fact they were in firefighter gear and well acclimated to the napalm environment around them both. Even with the fresh air and cool breeze from outside Ben was cooking inside his armour. He could feel his skin blistering and cracking under his armour. The heat was intense and his sweat was starting to sizzle against his skin. His lungs were being choked and his eyes were burning up. So much so his cheeks were streaming with tears. Leaving clean trails on his soot covered cheeks.
He notices Firelighter getting to his feet and his fingertips begin to dance with flames once more. Ben grimaces and looks back outside and at the drop. He could make out a few faces in the crowd, but couldn’t see his Mum. She wasn’t in her office. Luckily, she hadn’t bumped into Firelighter either as he too was approaching her door. There were other exits outside so he knew if she was still in the building she’d be able to make it safely out, as would the others. The only way out was to either fight Firelighter and make his way through a burning corridor or jump from the window.
Ben: “Goddamn it.”
Ben takes a sharp inhale, and steps one foot out the window. He clings to the side of the window frame. After mustering the courage to bring his other leg out, he lets go and falls from the building. Flames spray out from the window as he descends and Ben yells in a panic. He had an idea in mind before he jumped but it still didn’t stop him from being scared. Quickly, he grips both hands on the hilt of his blade and drives the metal into the side of building. Much to his luck, it cuts deep into the brick and tears through the foundation. Ben yells in pain, feeling the muscles of his arms stretch from the strain of holding onto sword. His sword continues to slice its way down as he comes to a slow stop. He hears people scream for him as he dangles from the hilt of his sword. Ben’s arms tremble from effort and his biceps spasm with pain. He looks down at the ground, just a 10ft drop. Thankfully, he sees firemen extending a ladder out towards him. He didn’t know what would happen to Firelighter but he didn’t really care at this point in time.
