Fairchild A-10A Warthog Cockpit Section by Kelly Michals

Pima Air and Space Museum

FAIRCHILD A-10A THUNDERROLT II

Called the Warthog by its pilots for the plane’s unstreamlined aggressive appearance, the Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II is the first fixed wing aircraft in the U.S. Air Force designed specifically for close support of ground troops. The plane was designed around the massive GAU-8 30mm cannon. Mounted in the nose of the plane and firing more than 4000 rounds a minute the Warthog's gun can shred even the heaviest armor. The Warthog's design also includes a titanium armored cockpit section to protect the pilot from ground fire. The A-10 was introduced into service in March 1976 when the first aircraft were delivered to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. By the late 1980s the Air Force was actively seeking a replacement for the A-10 and was focused on developing the General Dynamics F-16 into a close air support aircraft. Plan changed in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait and the United States moved to defend Saudi Arabia and liberate Kuwait. The A-10 quickly proved itself to be the world's premier ground attack aircraft. Since the First Gulf War the Air Force has begun a program to upgrade and rejuvenate the Warthog and now expects it to remain in service until at least 2030.

In the 2009 post-apocalyptic motion picture "Terminator: Salvation" the Warthog is shown as one of the few aircraft remaining to the insurgent human resistance to the take over of the planet by robot killing machines. This actually makes sense as the A-10 is a rugged, easy to repair aircraft that could probably be kept operational when more high-tech aircraft would be impossible to keep in the air.

The cockpit section on display here was used in the production of the movie for scenes where the actress Moon Bloodgood and others were shown flying A-10s.

OVERALL POWER CONSUMPTION OF DC MOTOR 75 WATT PER HOUR

Published on May 29, 2014

[[ A system to reduce power consumption in industry ]] by :- J S PASRICHA

1) Previously the machines had AC Clutch and AC Induction motor i.e. 400 Watt to 500 watt consumption per hour. Now, I have used DC motor 50 watt to 100 watt consumption per hours

.

2) The size of DC motor now is which is much smaller than the AC motor used previously. The size of the table has also been reduced accordingly.

3) The battery of 70 Ampere 12 volt can be charged with single solar panel of 75 Watt and this can work for 10 hours where there is no electricity/ rural areas.

4) In cities, AC to DC converter would be used to run the motor.

5) The DC motor can work on small invertors also.

Overall, the idea of operating industrial sewing machines on DC motors is very beneficial and this project would be helping many lives in future

I am a 51 years old business man working in the field of Industrial Sewing Machines since 1977, i.e. when my age was just 14 years. After passing my 8th class, I started operating Button Hole and Button Stitch machines. That time the cost of making one button hole and putting one button was 2 paisa each. The more button holes and buttons were stitched, the more money I would make. This was my only source of earning bread and butter, but at times I would end up earning nothing in the day because of electricity failures and operational dysfunctions in the machines for which there were hardly any repairers around at that time as the machines were not made in India . After making lot of efforts, I was able to understand and fix some of the common problems myself that occurred in the machines. This helped me to great extend as I was no longer dependent on getting the machines repaired from outside or buying new machines. But the problem of electricity failures persisted. However, there was no solution to this that time. I moved on in life and my business, gradually got into sale and servicing of all kinds of Industrial Sewing machines and progressed.

But I wished if I could still do something that could help people like me at large who are till date struggling great deal and ending up compromising on their bread and butter because these high-load industrial machines like Button Hole, Button Stitcher, Overlock, Bartake, Feedoarm, Double-needle, Zig-zag, Belt machine, Elastic inserting machine, Snap button machine etc. do not work without electricity. Each machine consumes about 400 Watt of electricity per hour. Using these industrial sewing machines on present day generators, invertors and solar plants is possible, but that requires huge investment, set-up and space. Consequently, the profit becomes small. So this was not a welcoming and exciting idea.

I was constantly thinking of some other way by which these high-load industrial sewing machines could perform on low-load/ less energy and should be portable so that it could be used anywhere, no matter that place is connected with regular power source or not.

The whole idea was to make these industrial sewing machines available, accessible and operational in the most under developed areas and also save energy. For discussions, understanding and research on this proposal, I visited companies in abroad during 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 but they suggested that the power consumption can be reduced to 50% but this was not enough, as this meant that each machine would still consume 200 watt per hour. I aimed to reduce the power consumption by 80% so I continued making efforts. After lots of research and experiments, I have finally been able to achieve success. Now all such high-load industrial sewing machines could be operated only at the consumption of 75 Watt per hour.

NIKOLAI, Alaska -- U.S. Marines assigned to Delta Company, 4th Law Enforcement Battalion, deliver toys to children living in remote villages of Alaska as part of the Toys for Tots program, Dec. 8. After traveling to a remote hub of villages via aircraft provided by the 144th Airlift Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, the Marines journey to different villages on snow machines. This year three teams of Marines traveled to numerous villages in the vicinities of Kotzebue, Galena and McGrath. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve with a goal of delivering, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I was absolutely devastated when this wall panel was damaged in 2023. Seeing it in the photo here, I am actually impressed with how well my toiling paid off. We had a flood in our basement from the hot water heater that summer. Even though the container that this set is stored in was not in the immediate area, it was still affected. I usually store all my playsets inside plastic containers, and then have them bagged in ziplocs with all the components. Sometimes, a certain item is too large to fit inside a bag. So I just have those bits in the container loosely. Such was the case with this panel. I couldn't cram it into the 2 gallon bags I had. I instead tucked it against the side of the container for safe keeping. Well it ended in disaster. There was a cute Amazon Vine couch set that had cushions, twine, and a cardboard base. I guess this attracted mold growth. Combined with the extra humidity in the air from the flood you can imagine what happened. Bear in mind, I had extensively cleaned the ENTIRE basement, not just the affected flood area. I also employed the use of a dehumidifier to help things. Somehow, even with the woodstove lit that time of year, the couch set grew a ton of mold. I couldn't save it due to the way it was constructed and the extent of the mold. To my horror, that set was leaned against this panel in the container (I didn't have the aforementioned couch set bagged, due to its size and delicate nature). Cardboard is a breeding ground for mold....so this was infected too. I was horrified when I discovered what had happened, as I was getting furniture for a Christmas skit set. Immediately I took action. The couch set was assessed and thrown out. I wasn't so quick to get rid of this, since it was close to fifty years old (and so freaking cute). All of it was luckily on the surface (some parts were peeling up from the moisture, and I could see there weren't any spores inside). I used isopropyl alcohol to wipe it down. I had to be careful because doing this too much would cause some of the designs to peel off (and that was what I wanted to preserve). Then I let the backdrop air out in a sunny place for a while. Normally I wouldn't have wanted to leave this in the sun, but it naturally kills mold spores. It also helped eliminate the odor. After having it out in the open for some time (I had it in the sun for a few days, and then kept it open on my desk for a couple weeks), I set off to repair the damage.

I used paint markers to fill in any parts of the design that had peeled. The damaged area was mostly in the middle where the backdrop folds. Afterwards, I decided to laminate the entire scene (even the separate floor piece) with clear contact paper. I do this for the backdrops I make myself, and for all my dolly cardboard accessories. It added an extra layer of protection from any future moisture, and made the damaged areas more sturdy. Then I bought special 3 gallon sized bags on Amazon JUST for storing all my Jody backdrops/floors in. It's been over a year, and we had another flood in the basement (from the washing machine). This flood took place right next to the shelf the container this set is housed in. All the preventative measures I took worked--there wasn't a single speck of mildew or mold on this. And we've been able to use it for videos/photos since and it has held up just fine. It was an extensive process salvaging this wall panel, but it was well worth it.

Winter Bicycle Commuting Gloves by joshua_putnam

Winter bicycle commuting gloves. They started off as ordinary blaze-orange hunting gloves, Thinsulate insulated and water resistant though not entirely waterproof. On the left glove I've added "Lightweights Power Reflectors" -- iron-on reflective trim, die-cut in small ovals and circles. I routinely add wide reflective tape to cycling gear, but it can be hard to cleanly cut and apply small amounts of that. These pre-cut pieces are a lot more convenient, and appear to be a good grade of material. Seen here after several trips through the washing machine this fall, still nice and bright.

Horizon: Zero Dawn - Deathbringer - Overheat Mode by Rune-Scribe

Another horizon machine, this time the Deathbringer.

This was a pretty complex build, mainly due to its ability to spread apart the four top sections to go into overheat mode. The legs are fully articulated, and the foot-pistons can go up and down, but as a consequence they aren’t especially stable.

Scale-wise, this ended up a little smaller than minifig scale, but no worse than the official Tallneck set

Talismans and Time Machines at Tam High Woodshop by Fabrice Florin

We made some cool 'pataphysical talismans and time machines this week in Geo Monly’s amazing woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.

Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) and Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) have been building a Time Machine model, which is coming along very well. It is a modular structure with five walls, which can house a wide range of interactive art works. It could grow into a 'collection of time machines’, featuring different artist's views of events that impact us all.

Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio) made hundreds of 'pataphysical talismans, using Tam High's laser printer, an Illustrator file created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really). It only took a couple hours to print over 280 talismans, which are based on the symbol of unity, featured in stupas all over Nepal.

Our creative process is documented in this photo album: bit.ly/pata-photos

I tried to send out a flickr mail but it apparently won't let you send it to more than one person. Booo flickr. :(

yes this is a picture of a heart. for your homework today, find the aorta.

I wanted to ask you guys to keep my familia in your prayers. Tomorrow (thursday) my dad is getting open heart surgery. We've known for several years that he has a heart murmur, but about 3 or 4 weeks ago we found out that one of his valves needed replacing.

Details:

x.. tomorrow at 10 he's getting his aorta and the aortic stem replaced.

x.. It's not an in-and-out of the hospital kind of surgery--the surgery itself takes about 4-6 hours, then he'll be in the ICU for a day or two, then in a cardiac step down unit for 2 or 3 more days. Assuming everything goes as planned, he should be home on Sunday or Monday. However, the average recovery time is 2 to 3 months, so he won't be back at work until then.

x.. The most painful part of the operation is that they have to saw through your sternum to get to your heart. ouch.

x.. the biggest risk lies in whether the heart will be strong enough to start pumping blood after the surgery. To operate on my dad's heart, they'll remove the heart completely, stop it, and put him on a heart-lung machine. This will pump his blood through his body for him and will keep him breathing. After the operation, they re-connect the heart to wherever it needs to be connected and start it. We have to pray that his heart will just want to start pumping vigorously!

My family is very thankful...

x..that my dad is so healthy. He doesn't need bypass surgery, which removes a whole level of risk and potential complications. He's never had a heart attack, which means his heart is powerful and easily pumps blood.

x.. for my dad's surgeon, Dr. Speir, and all the other skilled surgeons who will be operating on my dad. I had the opportunity of meeting him yesterday while he explained the procedure to me and answered my questions. He told me that this surgery is generally considered a high risk surgery. However, he went on to explain that some doctor's only perform heart surgery once a year, and that the risk lowers depending on how often the surgeon's operate. He says that my dad's surgery will be the 4th he's performed this week. :)

x.. that we live near and can get care at one of the leading cardiac centers in the nation

x.. that we have a wonderful God who can and does perform miracles

x.. for our friends and family who have supported us and prayed for us constantly over the past few weeks.

Please pray:

x.. that God's will would be done in this trial

x.. for God to protect my dad, bring him back to us quickly, and knit his bones and muscles back together.

x.. that God would give the surgeons wisdom, ability, and power to operate on my father.

x.. for my mom, that she would lean on God. This is a huge trial for her, but i've seen her faithfully give it to God and pray without ceasing.

x.. for my brother, Richelle, and I, that we would also lean on God. It's tempting to be afraid and to place our trust in doctors and statistics, but we need to fully rely on His power to heal.

x.. for peace for all of us. They next week is going to be busy and crazy and we need God's peace in our lives.

x.. that God will provide. My dad won't be able to work at least for the next month, and we'll be out of an income for that time period. Many have graciously offered to serve and cook meals for us. :)

Thanks all for praying and helping us through this tough time. :)

Toys for Tots by Arctic Warrior

NIKOLAI, Alaska -- U.S. Marines assigned to Delta Company, 4th Law Enforcement Battalion, deliver toys to children living in remote villages of Alaska as part of the Toys for Tots program, Dec. 8-14. After traveling to a remote hub of villages via aircraft provided by the 144th Airlift Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, the Marines journey to different villages on snow machines. This year three teams of Marines traveled to numerous villages in the vicinities of Kotzebue, Galena and McGath. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve with a goal of delivering, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.

1959 Jaguar XK150 FHC

Chassis No. S835771BW

Engine No. V5366-8

Transmission: Automatic

Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernized. A one piece windscreen replaced the split screen, and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The alloy bonnet was also widened, and opened down to the wings.

In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by an elegantly leather trimmed dash. Thinner doors gave the interior needed space as well.

Four-wheel Dunlop 12 in. Disc-Brakes appeared for the first time. Suspension and chassis were very similar to that on the XK140. Steering was by rack and pinion; power steering was not offered. Production ended in October of 1960.

S837312: Offered here is an elegant fixed head coupe, meticulously restored from top to bottom, with no detail overlooked.

This iconic British roadster is finished in a beautiful metallic blue over dark blue upholstery, complimented by chrome wire wheels, and driving lamps; displaying excellent fit and finish throughout. The car also features correct “J” headlamps and dual exhaust.

The cabin of the 150 is quite striking. Supple hides and well polished wood adorn the cockpit as well as plenty of brightwork. An aftermarket stereo system has been installed under the dash.

The well sorted 3.4L motor is quite stout, exhibiting strong acceleration and steady idling as the automatic transmission shifts through all gears with ease. As a reliable machine, this Jaguar certainly draws attention with its striking looks, all while offering a pleasant care-free driving experience.

Meticulous Full Restoration!

Well sorted throughout!

Excellent fit and finish!

Description Condor A580 Military

Year c.1950

Colour Blue/Grey

Engine size 580 cc

Chassis No. 20364351

Engine No. 5885

Virtually unknown outside their home territory, the Swiss firm of Scheffer Freres made their first motorcycle for the Swiss military as early as 1893, a full year before Hilldebrand & Wolfmuller launched what is generally considered to be the first true production motorcycle.

The bikes featured a logo showing the giant Condor of the Andes, leading to the firm being soon renamed Condor Werke Ag, and they were to remain in business right up until the 1990s, primarily serving the Swiss military, but also producing a limited number of bikes for domestic civilian use.

The A580 was launched in 1947 and remained in production until 1957, using the same 580cc boxer twin as the German BMW and Zundapp machines, a low compression side-valve unit that would run on just about any grade of gasoline. Reliable shaft drive eased maintenance on the battlefield while a cunning hi-lo shift lever gave four road ratios and four rough terrain ratios, effectively making it an eight gear machine. This gave a top speed of 65mph in high gear and a reduction to approximately 30mph in low.

Heavy and expensive, they were nonetheless utterly reliable and many remained in service until the 1970s when they began to be auctioned off and replaced with the Condor A350 based on the Ducati 350cc single.

Thought to date from around 1950, this A580 has no documents but has been on display in the Stondon Museum for many years. In full Swiss military trim, it still sports a rifle in its gun sling, along with a spotlamp mounted on the front mudguard and panniers in which to store your ammo, army knife, cuckoo clock and Toblerone.

An extremely rare machine that is very little known outside Switzerland, it is sure to cause a huge amount of interest wherever it goes. Once the usual precautionary checks have been completed, it should provide reliable transport for many years to come.

OVERALL POWER CONSUMPTION OF DC MOTOR 75 WATT PER HOUR

Published on May 29, 2014

[[ A system to reduce power consumption in industry ]] by :- J S PASRICHA

1) Previously the machines had AC Clutch and AC Induction motor i.e. 400 Watt to 500 watt consumption per hour. Now, I have used DC motor 50 watt to 100 watt consumption per hours

.

2) The size of DC motor now is which is much smaller than the AC motor used previously. The size of the table has also been reduced accordingly.

3) The battery of 70 Ampere 12 volt can be charged with single solar panel of 75 Watt and this can work for 10 hours where there is no electricity/ rural areas.

4) In cities, AC to DC converter would be used to run the motor.

5) The DC motor can work on small invertors also.

Overall, the idea of operating industrial sewing machines on DC motors is very beneficial and this project would be helping many lives in future

I am a 51 years old business man working in the field of Industrial Sewing Machines since 1977, i.e. when my age was just 14 years. After passing my 8th class, I started operating Button Hole and Button Stitch machines. That time the cost of making one button hole and putting one button was 2 paisa each. The more button holes and buttons were stitched, the more money I would make. This was my only source of earning bread and butter, but at times I would end up earning nothing in the day because of electricity failures and operational dysfunctions in the machines for which there were hardly any repairers around at that time as the machines were not made in India . After making lot of efforts, I was able to understand and fix some of the common problems myself that occurred in the machines. This helped me to great extend as I was no longer dependent on getting the machines repaired from outside or buying new machines. But the problem of electricity failures persisted. However, there was no solution to this that time. I moved on in life and my business, gradually got into sale and servicing of all kinds of Industrial Sewing machines and progressed.

But I wished if I could still do something that could help people like me at large who are till date struggling great deal and ending up compromising on their bread and butter because these high-load industrial machines like Button Hole, Button Stitcher, Overlock, Bartake, Feedoarm, Double-needle, Zig-zag, Belt machine, Elastic inserting machine, Snap button machine etc. do not work without electricity. Each machine consumes about 400 Watt of electricity per hour. Using these industrial sewing machines on present day generators, invertors and solar plants is possible, but that requires huge investment, set-up and space. Consequently, the profit becomes small. So this was not a welcoming and exciting idea.

I was constantly thinking of some other way by which these high-load industrial sewing machines could perform on low-load/ less energy and should be portable so that it could be used anywhere, no matter that place is connected with regular power source or not.

The whole idea was to make these industrial sewing machines available, accessible and operational in the most under developed areas and also save energy. For discussions, understanding and research on this proposal, I visited companies in abroad during 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 but they suggested that the power consumption can be reduced to 50% but this was not enough, as this meant that each machine would still consume 200 watt per hour. I aimed to reduce the power consumption by 80% so I continued making efforts. After lots of research and experiments, I have finally been able to achieve success. Now all such high-load industrial sewing machines could be operated only at the consumption of 75 Watt per hour.

On Tuesday, February 15, 2011, Phoebe Putney Hospital donated four Physcio Control Life Pack 12 Cardiac Monitors to Ben Hill County EMS. Cathy Bishop, director of Ben Hill EMS, stated that this would allow our EMS to transmit 12 lead EKGs to surrounding hospitals to be more efficient and give better care to our patients. This was a fabulous day with training provided to all of the EMS staff by Chris Lotter, representative with Medtronic, who is the maker of this machine. This machine will help our EMS to evaluate the patient, send this information straight to the receiving hospital and be more efficient with care plan at arrival. This is a huge step in healthcare for our community. Virgil Anderson, John Graddy and Kenny Nolf came to present these machines to the Ben Hill County EMS department.

Fairchild A-10A Warthog Cockpit Section by Kelly Michals

Pima Air and Space Museum

FAIRCHILD A-10A THUNDERROLT II

Called the Warthog by its pilots for the plane’s unstreamlined aggressive appearance, the Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II is the first fixed wing aircraft in the U.S. Air Force designed specifically for close support of ground troops. The plane was designed around the massive GAU-8 30mm cannon. Mounted in the nose of the plane and firing more than 4000 rounds a minute the Warthog's gun can shred even the heaviest armor. The Warthog's design also includes a titanium armored cockpit section to protect the pilot from ground fire. The A-10 was introduced into service in March 1976 when the first aircraft were delivered to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. By the late 1980s the Air Force was actively seeking a replacement for the A-10 and was focused on developing the General Dynamics F-16 into a close air support aircraft. Plan changed in 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait and the United States moved to defend Saudi Arabia and liberate Kuwait. The A-10 quickly proved itself to be the world's premier ground attack aircraft. Since the First Gulf War the Air Force has begun a program to upgrade and rejuvenate the Warthog and now expects it to remain in service until at least 2030.

In the 2009 post-apocalyptic motion picture "Terminator: Salvation" the Warthog is shown as one of the few aircraft remaining to the insurgent human resistance to the take over of the planet by robot killing machines. This actually makes sense as the A-10 is a rugged, easy to repair aircraft that could probably be kept operational when more high-tech aircraft would be impossible to keep in the air.

The cockpit section on display here was used in the production of the movie for scenes where the actress Moon Bloodgood and others were shown flying A-10s.

Talismans and Time Machines at Tam High Woodshop by Fabrice Florin

We made some cool 'pataphysical talismans and time machines this week in Geo Monly’s amazing woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.

Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) and Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) have been building a Time Machine model, which is coming along very well. It is a modular structure with five walls, which can house a wide range of interactive art works. It could grow into a 'collection of time machines’, featuring different artist's views of events that impact us all.

Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio) made hundreds of 'pataphysical talismans, using Tam High's laser printer, an Illustrator file created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really). It only took a couple hours to print over 280 talismans, which are based on the symbol of unity, featured in stupas all over Nepal.

Our creative process is documented in this photo album: bit.ly/pata-photos

Come see the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine at the Mill Valley Library this Saturday, Oct. 31, from 1pm to 5pm. Halloween costumes welcome :)

Xtrakogger by Patrick Barber

Here she is. The magic of the Xtracycle seems to have cured the front end wobble on this machine. This load -- a week's worth of vegetables, a gallon of milk, and various and sundry bits of clothing unneeded or unworn -- is my largest regular cargo. Once a week we make the 14-mi round trip to our CSA pickup and haul home our bounty. In the fall it's much bigger. But it's the milk (in two half-gallon glass jars) that usually tips the scales. With the Xtracycle I barely felt like I was carrying anything.

Installing the Xtracycle unit on this bicycle was relatively uneventful. Though the Kogswell uses 650B wheels, I used a 26" Xtracycle and V-brakes, and with a little filing of the brake arm slots, the brake shoes met the rim just fine. I think I voided several warranties in the process, but if I run into any difficulty I reckon I can use a disc brake setup instead. Or run a 26" wheel on the rear. Whatever. I need to haul stuff and this arrangement promises to do that better than the previous one.

Tenderness - Lubiteleva Valentina by Leah Turner

Faces of Love – Art Craft Centre, Murmansk, Russia

“The Murmansk Art Craft Centre presents a unique collection of quilts inspired by the paintings of the renowned Russian artist Anatoli Aleksandrovich Sergjenko.

In 2007 a group of quilters consisting of Irina Sopina (art director), Anatoli Sergjenko (project consultant), Nadeschda Markina and Tatjana Ischkaraeva set out to create a collection of 17 quilts, to be shown at Russian and major international quilt exhibitions. They took as their inspiration characters from a picture by Anatoli Sergjenko. Although they did not set out to make an exact resemblance, many of the quilts became almost exact replicas of the artists’ pictures – even though they were created in an entirely different medium. It was as if the artist always intended that his pictures should be re-created using textiles. The breath-taking pictures – beautiful depictions of love and eroticism – leave a great impression on the spectator, an impression which inspired the “Faces of Love” project.

The 17 quilts, completed in only nine months, demonstrated the artists’ great talent and innovative approaches to quilt art. Moreover, many of the manually demanding pieces were crafted by complete beginners who had limited quilting experience.

At the 6th Russian Festival for decorative art, “Quilt-Mosaics Russia” in Moscow in 2007, the group was honoured by the Association of Quilting in Russia and received a special prize from the main sponsor, BERNINA International AG of Switzerland.

In 2008, Wolfgang Eibisch of BERNINA International AG, asked Tatjana Ischkareva’s club to reproduce six of the quilts from “Faces of Love” using new techniques and materials.

In 2009 the group continued their work on the Northern-Sea topic and created six more quilts based on the paintings of A. Sergjenko. All 12 quilts were crafted on Bernina Aurora 440 sewing machines.

This became a new exhibition, which will be on display at The Festival of Quilts 2010.”

The Blue Lense Garden (11) by Earth Designs

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Hawkwell, London*. Here are the details of the project

The clients , Jon and Karen, have lived at the property for over 10 years. Whilst they have done some minor landscaping with the addition of decking in the last few years, they feel that the space has more potential. They called Earth Designs as they felt no-one locally to them could deliver the sort of look they are after. They require the space to be multi functional with an adult area and somewhere for their son to have some fun. Whilst they don’t want the garden to be ‘kiddie-centric’ they do want Jazz, their son, to be able to engage with the garden. To this end they would like a ‘grow-your-own’ area. They currently have a out building in the garden which they use infrequently as a bar area. This also houses a running machine. Whilst they are keen to retain the option of having an indoor bar, the size of structure does not justify the amount of garden wasted, so we need to find an alternative solution. They prefer calm colours and plan to spend a lot of time in the garden.

This design divides this small sub-urban garden into several distinct functional areas. Attractive, amber-coloured Yellow Balau hardwood decking will be laid directly adjoining the house to create a stylish and durable entrance to the space. Two eye-catching paths lead from either side of the decking up the garden to a small artificial lawn in the right hand corner. The paths will be constructed from 35cm squares of toughened recycled glass panels set into a sea of coloured glass mulch.

The main seating/dining area will be in the bottom left of the garden. An L-shaped rendered block raised bed constructed along the left and rear boundaries will enclose a rectangular decked patio, which will house a freestanding decked table and matching cube stools . Ample seating will be provided by an L-shaped decking bench fixed to the side of the raised bed walls.

Bespoke timber pergolas will enclose the lawn, seating area and glass mulch pathways. Constructed from 90mm x 90mm Yellow Balau posts and beams, these structures will feature a variety of ’alcoves’ in the sides, some of which will also boast coloured Perspex ‘windows’ for that extra ‘wow’ factor.

A bespoke log cabin summer house will be installed along the sideway to house the client’s bar and running machine. This will be built to exact specifications to fit the dimensions of the sideway, with full length windows and double louvre doors at the garden end and a door at the opposite end. This door will act as a gate to access the garden from the front of the house.
