Recently I  photographed my quilts with my new fancy dancy camera (Nikon90) - sounds easy? NO!!!! This meant plowing through my quilts, hanging them and then refolding them to fit back into their tight space - However.....the hidden blessing was that I found this quilt!!! I thought it exisited, but couldn't find it - and then I was beginning to question my memory (I know NONE of you can relate to that ) AND THEN....there she was!!!! Is this something I should consider patterning (38" x 38")?

I LOVE rodeo weekend in Livermore, Ca. Did you know we have the Worlds Fastest Rodeo? We live a few blocks from the rodeo grounds  and every year I LOVE talking my morning walk through the area. Trucks, live stock, cowboys and cowgirls grace the landscape. Loving the images I dashed home and grabbed my camera to capture the experience. It struck me like a lightening bolt how sub cultures (as ours) have hidden codes of conduct and expected behaviors - from how we talk, think, compete and express ourselves - all the way down to dress code (I can spot a quilter a mile away!). It really got me thinking......How would you explain to an anthropologist  who we are as a community?
