On August 21, 2017, North America will experience a solar eclipse. Those who live within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most amazing sights – a total solar eclipse!

Within this path, the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun’s atmosphere – the corona – can be seen around the black circle.

We live about 10 miles from the path of totality, so we will have a wonderful opportunity to observe total solar eclipse.

Under a “solar eclipse” mood in our home, I created these two crochet designs – Total Solar Eclipse Applique and Partial Solar Eclipse Applique.
