Watching the Detectives

This place has a lot of exhibits about the testing and use of chemical weapons in Albania - and the spying on people. They have a regular family living room set up with a spy area right next, showing how everything was bugged.

 

Staring Owl

My little owl is now staring at me telling me to finish it. This one will go to Andreas.

 

Baby Quilt

This quilt, that I had pieced quite a while ago, is finally quilted, finished, and gifted. Thank you Betsy for doing the quilting. I added the binding and gave it to the Sudame family for their new baby.

 

Tearing Off the Back

Tearing all the little paper pieces off the back of this so I can send it to Betsy to get quilted. Slow work because other things keep getting in the way.

 

Getting Handy

The fourth hand is close to complete as the arcs around it begin to close in.

 

Lettering Now

Yay, lettering is started and it's time to get this puppy finished.

 

Friendly Neighborhood Snitch

Bunk'Art 1 is a history of the 20th century internal security apparatus of Albania. Various rooms have the early history. Lots of narrow corridors and bits of old electric spy devices dot the place. Then you get to the uniformed mannequin with the gas mask and you realize this really was a place. A scary place where they spied on everyone under Hoxha.
