Fiber art quilt with black fabric border (not shown). Wall hanging made from fabric, yarn, threads, quilted and embroidered
Here's a shot of the cam chain finally threaded under the main drive gear within the lower end. It took threading two guitar strings through the ends of each side of the cam chain, then creating a loop on on end, bending it around, then feeding it deep underneath and grabbing it on the other end with a hooked tool.
Of course, the cam chain roller (in between the two pistons). Removed by two 10mm bolts.
This entire process was very tricky in the sense that it took four synchronized hands all working together in unison to handle start to finish.

International Women’s Day to be celebrated at the Senedd
The National Assembly for Wales will mark International Women’s Day today (8 March) - a global celebration of the achievements of women - with a series of events across the Assembly estate. In the Senedd, Deputy Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler AM will speak at a ‘world cafe’ event, organised by the British Council and training course-provider Women Making a Difference. The world cafe will see women telling stories of the many women who have made history across the globe during the last 100 years – including those who’ve played a part in women’s rights and displayed acts of courage and determination. Exhibitions from equality organisations MEWN Cymru, Chwarae Teg, Merched y Wawr, Women’s Archive Wales and Self Help Africa will also be displayed in the Senedd to mark the day. In the Pierhead, the Women’s Arts Association will hold an event including a performance from female dance group India Dance Wales and a clog dancer. The Association will also launch a textile exhibition that will be displayed in the Pierhead’s Futures Gallery. The exhibition - Bonded by Threads: Old Crafts by Modern Women – will showcase the work of Welsh female artists. The day will also see the Assembly launch a competition to decide on a Welsh female hero from the past to be displayed in the ‘heroes room’ at the Pierhead from a shortlist which can be viewed on the National Assembly’s website at www.assemblywales.org. In north Wales, the Assembly’s Outreach bus will be present at the Mill Arts and Craft Centre in Holywell, where women’s day celebrations will be taking place, and sixty members from Merched y Wawr will also visit the Colwyn Bay visitor centre to learn about the Assembly.

Dathlu Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod yn y Senedd
Heddiw (8 Mawrth), bydd Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru yn nodi Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod, sy’n ddathliad byd-eang o gyraeddiadau merched, gyda chyfres o ddigwyddiadau drwy ystad y Cynulliad. Yn y Senedd, bydd Rosemary Butler AC, y Dirprwy Lywydd, yn siarad mewn digwyddiad ‘caffi’r byd’, a drefnwyd gan y Cyngor Prydeinig a’r darparwr cyrsiau hyfforddiant, Merched yn Gwneud Gwahaniaeth. Yn y caffi, bydd menywod yn eistedd o gwmpas byrddau yn dweud hanesion am nifer o fenywod a fu’n nodedig mewn hanes ledled y byd dros y 100 mlynedd ddiwethaf, gan gynnwys y rhai a fu’n weithgar dros hawliau merched a’r rhai sydd wedi cyflawni gweithredoedd a dewrder a phenderfyniad. Bydd arddangosfeydd gan sefydliadau cydraddoldeb fel MEWN Cymru, Chwarae Teg, Merched y Wawr, Archif Menywod Cymru a Self Help Africa hefyd i’w gweld yn y Senedd i nodi’r diwrnod. Bydd Cymdeithas Celfyddydau’r Menywod yn cynnal digwyddiad yn y Pierhead a fydd yn cynnwys perfformiad gan grwp dawns benywaidd, India Dance Cymru, a chlocsiwr. Bydd y Gymdeithas hefyd yn lansio arddangosfa decstilau a fydd i’w gweld yn Oriel y Dyfodol yn y Pierhead. Bydd yr arddangosfa, ‘Yr Edau sy’n ein Clymu: Hen Grefftau gan Fenywod Modern’, yn arddangos gwaith artistiaid benywaidd o Gymru. Ar y diwrnod hwn hefyd, bydd y Cynulliad yn lansio cystadleuaeth i ddewis arwres Gymreig o’r gorffennol i’w nodi yn ‘ystafell yr arwyr’ yn y Pierhead o restr fer y mae modd ei gweld ar wefan y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn www.cynulliadcymru.org. Yn y Gogledd, bydd bws Allgymorth y Cynulliad yn bresennol yng Nghanolfan Gelfyddydau a Chrefftau’r Felin, Treffynnon, lle bydd dathliadau diwrnod y menywod yn digwydd, a bydd 60 o aelodau Merched y Wawr hefyd yn ymweld a chanolfan ymwelwyr y Cynulliad ym Mae Colwyn i ddysgu am y Cynulliad.

Now the cylinder has been lowered over the pistons, and the cam chain is being threading through the main body of the cylinder and over the top.
I highly recommend getting the piston ring compressor tool when lowering the cylinder back on. It took two sets of hands to compress the rings (not easy), while each using our chins to gently hammer the cylinder down over each ring, one at a time... all six rings.

Io Saturnalia ! (I'm a convinced atheist and thus don't celebrate Christmas as it is usually understood in Western culture). To add some sparkle to the darkest time of the year, here's a couple of festive thread skeins related to the Goldwork classes.

SWEET CALL AND RESPONSE
By Steve MacDonald and Dana F. Smith
2012, San Francisco, California
edition of 25
Sweet Call and Response was developed with an emphasis on experimentation with the materials - digital printing on canvas, photo collage, machine sewn thread, and sewn collage.
Instinctively, messages are sent to attract a response. This book is a visual poem about communication through the interplay of universal symbols and photographic images.
The book is printed entirely on canvas specially coated for digital printing with pigmented inks. A variety of sewing techniques, such as patchwork and embroidery, are applied to the pages over the ink. Each page of the book is treated with meticulous stitching executed by hand using a home sewing machine. Pages are affected on both sides by the stitching. Inverse images create a visual echo woven into the design of the book, which propels the narrative ever forward.
Designed by Steve MacDonald and Dana F. Smith

To buy
New England Central power pulls out for headroom while switching the Providence & Worcester interchange at Willimantic, Connecticut. The sculptural spools of thread on the bridge here reflect Willimantic's history as a textile manufacturing center, specializing in thread. Across the river, one of the historic mills has been turned into apartments and artists' studios.
