On the last night of taping, Bruce our director, offered to host a barbecue at the hotel - hats off to ingenuity!

Just kidding (no we didn't do this!)- thanks to the entire crew of TQS, you rock! Each show was a jewel and they could not have been done with out ALL of you!

During the taping, we were all inspired by the mountains. So we checked the Quilt Gallery for Mountain Quilts. Here is a sample of some great quilts. Keep putting them up. You keep us all inspired.

On the side of a mountain, or just down below,
the crew with their cameras were ready to go.
I jiggled and jumped, tossed my hat in the air,
then walked on the set which was dressed with great care.

I gazed at the lights, the 'lipsoidals and cans,
all fifty and two with their flumens and flans.
I looked at the tripods, the jib and the gaff,
and pushed an odd button and started to laugh.

Each thingy-de-bobble and flickey flack,
went whirling and twirling and going ker-whack.
The pogs had an eye lens that looked up and down
and each had a zwurlie that went round and round.

I knew that these gizmos with gigas and bytes
would soon be recording the quilterly sights.
The quilts had been hung up by Justin and Jeff
So now the grand entrance was all that was left.

Then all of the sudden they poured in like rain,
Kevinster, Aaronster, Bradster and Wayne.
Bruce followed Izzy and wild Sarah Jane
Brian follwed next pulling Glen by a chain.

The big Giganteekas were not big enough
The tiny papeepers weren't doing their stuff.
So Shelly and Angel with clipboard in hand
were secretly scheming an alternate plan.

Lilo and Ruthy and John were all there
to welcome the guest and fill up the last chair.
But who strolled in last with magnificent flair?
Well Alex, of course, with celebrity hair.

 

keep posting your two bits...

We had a wonderful time at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, Colorado. They are busy moving to a new location down the street and they have found several quilt frames that need a good home. One of the frames is a true antique. They are really cheap, but you need to get them to your home. Take a look and then contact Brenda Ohlschwager at Brenda_O@rmqm.org.

This is not exactly presented in a timely fashion (Internet woes) but on the eve of coming to Boulder I got a box from our TQS shoppe - and WOW! Pati put together yet another winner of a quilt kit. It is a copy of my latest quilt for P&B Textiles with my new line Aways and Forever - Check it out. You can whip it out on your machine or stitch the butterflies by hand, the choice is yours, I whipped mine out by machine.
