A little fairy, sitting on a toadstool. Number 90. I haven’t decided if this should be finished or not. It’s about 30″ wide by 36″ high.

After our tour of the Detroit Opera House, we went to Small Plates, right across the street, for lunch. My food was terrific, spring rolls, and homemade french fries with homemade ketchup. An odd combination, but I shared a bit of grilled eggplant on a baguette, and boursin cheese and tomatoes on a baguette.

On the grand staircase. The set for Don Giovanni was being installed while we were there, so only half of our group had a chance to go on stage. But we saw all of it, up close. I recommend this tour. It cost $10 per person, and was well worth it.

In the costume shop, at the Opera House. I think Jean found a prop left from Frankenstein. We got to handle and inspect the costumes!

We had 2 guides, Helen and Joan.

All of us, in the lobby of the Opera House.

The first of our group to arrive at the Detroit Opera House today.

The background is in place. Next step is grouting.

Number 89, the start of a mosaic of Lady of Guadalupe. I’ll fill the background with aqua glass, and post a picture when finished.

Anthurium, a new tropical. Not quilted yet. number 88.

An Orchid, for the tropical series. Number 87.
