While Alex is at her Summit, I am starting the second of two back to back La Veta Quilt Retreats today. Last week we had eight wonderful quilters experiencing all sorts of new quilting techniques and making beautiful projects. This time of the year we always warn the quilters about the bears. Of course, they mostly think we are just teasing, but we assure them we are not. The trash dumpster between our studio and the Inn is enticing to the bears because the Inn has a restaurant. DLQuilter (read more on her Member Blog - Pieces of Life) attended last week and, as she walked over for her morning class, she snapped this photo of a yearling.

Last night as we were finishing our get-acquainted dinner, the same bear was walking down the sidewalk in front of the studio. He/she finally ended up in the dumpster again and we watched for quite a while. Now that's inspiration for a quilt! I'm thinking Bear Paws. What about you?
