I was in New Haven, CT, early this week teaching for the Shoreline Quilters. I wish I was good about taking photos in my workshops but I can't seem to work that into the day. I can tell you, though, that a good time was had by one and all, including me.

I'm home and was running some errands this morning and that is how I ended up in Hobby Lobby. If you don't have a Hobby Lobby nearby I can tell you that it is a very nice, huge craft store.

I was checking out the sales on summer stuff when I caught the edges of Christmas glitter. I know that Christmas merchandise is out earlier every year but it seems wrong when it is so hot outside!

I am a sucker for Christmas bling so of course I got pulled into the aisles of ornaments. Last year I got some of the unbreakable ones and they aren't bad at all. They look like glass but you don't have to worry about them shattering.

I almost bought one of these bad boys for my grandson, Jack, until I reminded myself that's way more into trucks than dinosaurs. And besides I know that these will go on sale well before Christmas.

I finished my quilt!

I embroidered the (very long) title of the quilt on a patch sewn to the back:

It's a happy-looking quilt with an incredibly sad back story. My artist's statement is as follows:

"My father-in-law, Craig Goldsmith, is fading fast. At this point he likes to share stories from his youth. He is sharing the bits of himself that he can still find and it is an honor to hold those memories for him because they, too, will surely fade away."

Judy Mathieson's entry into the WSQC is Scarlet and Indigo. She finished her quilt first – see, it's quilted and bound! Mine is not. Click on the quilt to see it bigger. The quilting is amazing. I wish my echo quilting was that good.

First I have to say Mt. Massive is an interesting name for a mountain. It makes me think the person who named it had just run out of good names and went with the most obvious choice. That happens to me when I'm naming quilts so I understand how that can happen.

Here are my guys on the summit. The last time there were some folks on Mt. Elbert to take their picture. This time they were alone and there wasn't a flat place to put the camera and use the self-timer. Mt. Massive, the second highest peak in Colorado and the third highest in the contiguous US, at 14,421 – just 12 feet lower that Elbert.

There was a metal box at the summit with the log book and a number of unusual objects that people had left, including Woody. Steve left a kukui nut. I'm guessing Woody went back into the box.

Caryl Bryer Fallert's quilt is lovely and unmistakably hers.

Caryl is on the 'other' team. My teammates are John Flynn, Hollis Chatelain, Sue Nickels. The 'other' team is made up of Caryl, Judy Mathieson, Mary Sorensen, and Ricky Tims. What is fun is seeing how different and wonderful each of the quilts is.
