Haven't visited TQS for a while?  Here are a few things you might have missed.

For you more traditional folks:

Blue Skies Over California - an exhibit from Long Beach Featuring antique indigo & white quilts.

For the Love of Turkey Red - an article about the introduction of red fabrics into the quilting palette when it was so difficult to produce.

And let's not forget Alex' classes on Machine & Hand Applique in the Classrooms.

For you in the digital world:

Printing on Fabric - in the classroom and the Forum with Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero as she teaches members about printing on fabric.

Digital Imagery - with Lura Schwarz Smith and Kerby Smith - a delightful slideshow featuring stunning quilts.

It's been a crazy summer and I have tons of cool quilting things under my belt including: Quilt Colorado in Estes Park, my Super Quilt Seminar in Rocklin, CA, a visit to Bernina in Chicago, teaching at Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Oregon and a La Veta Quilt Retreat! Nonetheless, two weeks ago I finally got Big Bear hauled out to Autumn Rock and Justin and I got the poles raised for Big Bear. Now the mystery should be solved - even if it's still not complete. I finally got a short video edited to share with you. Hope you will enjoy the progress.

Thanks Susan for reading the instruction manual and video taping our feeble attempts to construct this massive (24' across, over 30' tall) teepee.

The music is Drum Circle from my CD - Sacred Age

Believe it or not it's that time again. Time to shoot another round of shows! Whoo-hoo! It looks like we'll be taping our 92nd - 106th shows. Can you believe it?

Today the migration to Boulder begins as Alex, Ricky, Justin, John and the crew migrate to Boulder, Colorado. We have seven days and fourteen shows on the horizon. Stay with us each day here on the Daily Blog to keep up with our shenanigans. Raise your hand if you have tickets to attend one day.
