Machine Applique and Machine Quilting
About; When we were thinking about
participating in the Dream Rocket Project,
one of our members told us that the
students from the School for the Blind in
Rommey, WV had been participating in
SCIVIS (Space Camp for Interested Visually
Impaired Students) for the 20 years it's
been in existance. SCIVIS began when a
blind adult was turned away from Space
Camp in Huntsville, because of her
blindness.
Now days, for one week each year, Space
Camp is transformed into a place where
blind & visually impaired kids can come
together and participate in a mock space
mission. They come from all over the
world and all over the United States.
They form life long friendships as they
interact toward the common goal of the
mission with other children who have
similiar challenges in their lives. Our panel
celebrates SCIVIS and it's positive effect on
blind and visually impaired students.

"Mars Mind"
Paper & glue. I created a paper collage
which was photographed and printed
on cloth.
About; I admire space exploration
because it allows us to experience
different realities. Pioneering these new
realities is both thrilling &
frightening. To create my collage I
asked myself, "Will humans living on
Mars truly adapt and become Martians?"
Did you enjoy this project? Yes. I
would love to participate in more
exhibitions.
