Mariners Compass Stars Free FREE MARINERS COMPASS STARS PDF Carol Doak | 114 pages | 30 Oct 2007 | C & T Publishing | 9781571204059 | English | Concord, United States Putting it together: Mariner’s compass – Color Girl Quilts by Sharon McConnell At last I felt I was ready to start the stars!! Looking at my overall quilt design, I decided to shade from dark purples to red purples to reds to red- orange. I was going to skip Mariners Compass Stars shading to Mariners Compass Stars since my sister wasn't a big fan of blue. It seemed like red was a good Mariners Compass Stars to start. Looking over her Mariners Compass Stars, she seemed to randomize the pie pieces a little more, but I decided to just use the same 8 fabrics for simplicity's sake. I followed a sketch Mariners Compass Stars p2 of the directions p84 in the book which suggested an assembly method. Mariners Compass Stars below. First I would sew together pieces E to Mariners Compass Stars a tiny point, then sew on pieces D to make a larger pie piece, then pieces F to the outside and finally sew the assembly onto a larger point G2 which I had previously made. That made a quarter star and I just had to Mariners Compass Stars together 4 quarters to make the inner star. I reasoned that assembling the outer star ring would be a lot like the 4 pointed Mariners Compass Stars, just more. Having it all figured out, I launched into it. Above layout, lights on left. Below detail layout, darks on left. Who knew? Not quite. The left sides of the points were dark and the rights light. Or was it the other way around? I'd made my 4-pointed arcs with the lights on the left and the darks on the right. How could I have made such a mistake? Then I looked again at her patterns. On p2 and on the front of the book, darks are on the Mariners Compass Stars on p4 of the directions p 87 in the bookthe layout shows darks on the right. I guess I used the layout for the Mariners Compass Stars. But I had already made freezer paper pieces, carefully reversing the dark and light on the shaded pattern pieces in the book since I would be pressing the paper to the wrong side. And I had, in an early flush of enthusiasm, already Mariners Compass Stars some pieces of fabric using the templates and they were now reversed. I couldn't waste those, could I? So I decided to leave the arcs and the stars as is, since the arcs in the finished Mariners Compass Stars snake through the stars and it would take a quilt judge to notice. I had decided to follow a suggestion earlier in the book on p 42 and make some points by sewing strips of fabric together and then cutting the points, saving having to sew the precise, symmetrical "dart" points. It worked, but I ended up wasting a lot of fabric since I could only cut 18 to 22 in strips from my fat quarters. I also ran into trouble with Y-seams in Mariners Compass Stars the small stars see below. I quickly abandoned this method and devised an easier method for assembling the large pointed arcs which I'll talk about later. I almost immediately realized that assembling the inner star as the layout suggested refer to picture above would require that I make 12 count'em, Mariners Compass Stars Y seams. I was no stranger to Y-seams, having made a huge lonestar medallion quilt with a border of smaller LeMoyne stars. But 12 per star? I may be skilled at it, but I'm not crazy. Nevertheless, for my first star I did make 8 Y-seams, as I had you guessed it already made 8 tiny "E" points and couldn't waste the fabric, could I? First, make freezer paper pieces by assembling pieces E left and righttwo symmetrical pieces D, Mariners Compass Stars an F and finally half a G2. Make 4 "left" hand pieces with a light F piece and a dark G2 piece, and 4 "right" hand patterns with a dark F piece and a light G2 piece. Photocopy a few extra paper piecesas it is helpful to sometimes use subsets of the pattern papers a right-handed D and E subset to go with the left-handed D, E, and F. I quickly abandoned any hope of using the tiny template pieces I had already cut out. I decided to cut oversize pieces and trim as I went, as is the classic method for paper piecing, also illustrated on p As Mariners Compass Stars got better at doing the piecing, I found I could use the fabric pieces left from the first piecing to make a second one as I cut rectangles and the piecing generated triangles. Except for D, which makes a pie-shaped piece. Sewing directions: Choose a left hand paper and crease along the E and D line on the left. If working with a virgin paper pattern it is helpful to crease along all sewing lines at this point. Choose a D fabric piece and a light E. Align the fabrics along the long edges and position them so when they are opened up that the faric covers the paper. With the iron, the corresponding paper lightly to the E fabric. Choose a dark F rectangle and line it Mariners Compass Stars with trimmed seam, ensuring that when opened it covers the F pattern. Insert pictures. Assemble another D square fabric and a dark E in a similar manner with a small pattern cut from another paper. Note that the pressed seam allownaces will be on top of one another, not nested. It is necesssary to press the seams away from the points to ensure sharp points. Peel off the bottom paper and save to be used again. Open up the seam and check for alignment Mariners Compass Stars make any adjstments now. When you are ssatisfied with your match, press the seam towards the dark E and lighlty press down the paper. Folding the paper back, sew along the crease. You now Mariners Compass Stars a Mariners Compass Stars hand eighth section. Make the Mariners Compass Stars hand section similarly, reversing lights and darks. Removing the paper helps prevent stiching through the pattern and ruining it for reuse. When you are satisfied with your point, press the seam towards the dark side. You now have Mariners Compass Stars completed quarter. Save all your used papers. As long as you don't stitch through the papers and rip them, or lose the narrow points, the plastic on the freezer paper lasts through quite a few ironings. At this point, I got very excited to make a finished large star. The small star was beautiful. All I had to do was sew the outer ring and sew them together. Leave off at making the four quarters. I am going to excise this last section and include some photos of the assembly in a future post. Posted by Ann Grant at AM.

Quilt-Pro Systems - Carol Doak Mariner's Compass Stars Registration A compass rosesometimes called a Mariners Compass Stars or rose of the windsis a Mariners Compass Stars on a compassmapnautical chartor monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions northeastsouthand west and their intermediate points. It is also the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass. Today, a form of compass rose is found on, or featured in, almost all navigation systems, including nautical chartsnon-directional beacons NDBVHF omnidirectional range VOR systems, global- positioning systems GPSand similar equipment. Linguistic anthropological studies have shown that most Mariners Compass Stars communities have four points of cardinal direction. The names given to these directions are usually derived from either locally-specific geographic features e. The ancient Greeks originally maintained distinct and separate systems of points and winds. The four Greek cardinal points arctosanatolemesembria Mariners Compass Stars dusis were based on celestial bodies and used for orientation. Nonetheless, both systems were gradually conflated, and wind names came eventually to denote cardinal directions as well. In his meteorological studies, Aristotle identified ten Mariners Compass Stars winds: two north-south winds Aparctias, Mariners Compass Stars and four sets of east-west winds blowing from different latitudes—the Arctic circle Meses, Thrasciasthe summer solstice Mariners Compass Stars Caecias, Argestesthe equinox Apeliotes, Zephyrus and the winter solstice Eurus, Lips. However, Aristotle's system was asymmetric. To restore balance, Timosthenes of Rhodes added two more winds to produce the classical wind rose, and began using the winds to denote geographical direction in navigation. Eratosthenes deducted two winds from Aristotle's system, to produce the classical 8-wind rose. The Romans e. SenecaPliny adopted the Greek wind system, and replaced its names with Latin equivalents, e. Septentrio, Subsolanus, Auster, Favonius, etc. Uniquely, Vitruvius came up with a wind rose. According to the chronicler Einhard c. Intermediate winds were constructed as simple compound names of these four e. However, Charlemagne did not invent the names of the points of the compass, which go back to Sanskrit and Ancient Greek ; for example the word 'east' is related to the Latin word ' aurora ' meaning 'dawn'. Thus there is a common source of the modern compass point names found in nearly all modern west European languages e.

The present map, the last in a set of three maps of Asia produced by Gastaldi between 1559 and 1561, comprises the easternmost section of the continent. The map is interesting for its considerable impact on sixteenth-century mapping of Asia, as well as for its important geographical and toponymic content—for example, this is the first use the modern name of the Philippines on a European map. In the lower right of the map, above the scale bar, it is noted that the map was created based on a fifteen- year privilegio, or copyright protection, granted by Pope Pius IV. Also in this area, Fabio Licinio is named as the map’s engraver. On the right border of the map, a large table lists ancient and modern place names. While the first and second maps in Gastaldi’s three-part Asia series contained this information in a separate gazetteer, here they are included on the map itself. The map is bounded in the west by the Arabian Sea and in the east by China and the East China Sea (Mare de Mangi, from Marco Polo’s use of Mangi as the name for southern China).

Importance of inertial currents Variabilité de la circulation dans le golfe du Lion (Méditerranée nord-occidentale). Importance des courants d’inertie Anne A. Petrenko * Centre d’Océanologie de Marseille, LOB-UMR 6535, Faculté des Sciences de Luminy, 13288 Marseille cedex 09, France Received 9 October 2001; revised 5 July 2002; accepted 18 July 2002 Abstract ADCP data from two cruises, Moogli 2 (June 1998) and Moogli 3 (January 1999), show the variability of the circulation features in the Gulf of Lion, NW Mediterranean Sea. The objective of the present study is to determine whether the hydrodynamic features are due to local forcings or seasonal ones. During both cruises, the Mediterranean Northern Current (NC) is clearly detected along the continental slope and intrudes on the eastern side of the shelf. East of the gulf, its flux is ~2 Sv both in June and January in opposition to previous literature results. Otherwise, the NC characteristics exhibit usual seasonal differences. During the summer, the NC is wider (35 km), shallower (~200 m), and weaker (maximum currents of 40–50 cm s–1) than during the winter (respectively, 28 km, 250–300 m, 70 cm s–1). Moreover the NC is tilted vertically during the winter, following the more pronounced cyclonic dome structure of that season. Its meanders are interpreted as due to baroclinic instabilities propagating along the shelf break. Other circulation features are also season-specific. The summer stratification allows the development, after strong wind variations, of inertial currents with their characteristic two-layer baroclinic structure.

Stock#: 74198 Map Maker: Tavernier Date: 1661 Place: Paris Color: Hand Colored Condition: VG+ Size: 24 x 12 inches Price: $ 3,400.00 Description: Rare pair of eastern and western hemispheric maps, published by Melchior Tavernier. Tavernier's map provides a fine blend of contemporary cartographic information with unique details in the concentric circles outside of the geographical hemisphere. In the outermost circle, Tavernier names the 32 compass point directions in French. In the center circle, are the names of the 12 Classical Winds described by Timothenes of Rhodes (circa 282 BC) in both Latin and the original Greek spellings (see below). In the innermost circle, the 8 Winds of the Mediterranean (the modern compass points) are named (Tramontane, Greco (Grecale), Levante, Sirocco, Austral (Ostro or Mezzogiorno), Sebaca (Libeccio or Garbino), Ponent (Ponente) and Maestral (Mistral or Maestro). Cartographically, the map is a marvelous blend of information and conjecture. Tavernier treats the massive northwestern landmass to the north of California as conjecture, employing a lighter coastal outline to signify that the lands depicted are not known with certainty. California is shown as a curiously shaped island, not consistent with either the Briggs or Sanson models. A single Great Lake is depicted. In the Arctic regions, a notation describes Thomas Button's search for a Northwest Passage. In South America, there is a small Lake Parime in Guiana, and both the Amazon and Rio de la Plata flow from the large interior Lago de los Xarayes.
