I am in Salt Lake City for Quilt Market. I got here before lunch and I didn’t have any place in particular that I needed to be, so I decided to do a little bit of walking around. I found a terrific grocery store (Harmons). It made me wish I needed more than yogurt and Kombucha.

Salt Lake City’s downtown is very walkable and the weather was beautiful. Here are some of the things I saw this afternoon:

These windows are like a fun-house mirror. If you look closely, just to the left of center, you can see an open door on the back side of the building shining through the front glass.

This sculpture is attached to a light pole but, thanks to Photoshop, he appears to be floating in space. I sat on the sidewalk to take this picture in my white pants—Salt Lake is a very clean city! You can see me reflected in the faceplate; the curvature makes me look farther away than I was.

The bikes are very tempting. If I had more free time, I’d figure out how to rent one.

Tomorrow Quilt Market festivities begin. It is great to see old friends and to make new ones! I’m looking forward to 3 busy days full of quilt-y goodness :-).

Teresa Love sent me this photo with the instructions not show it before, May 12th. It is part of her guild’s challenge and is supposed to be a surprise until the guild votes in the evening.

A few years ago I took your reverse appliqué class in Knoxville, TN at the AQS Show.   I finished a bunch of blocks but I never made it into a quilt. Our guild–Madison Station Guild in Madison, Alabama—had a 5 row by row challenge.   So I put the class blocks into a quilt.  I added the challenge elements and UFO is finished. I so enjoyed  your class.

It’s a winner, don’t you think! Thank you, Teresa, for sharing your quilt :-).
