Sept 12
Hello,
Today is cool and rainy. A good day to do work. Tomorrow is Friday the 13 and the moon will be full. Be sure to check it out at those two things will not happen together again until 2048.
There was a QuEG’s meeting this week. It was good to see folks. Liz brought her project form the Silk class. It looks good.
Sue Ellen is finishing up projects and this is one.
Corrine was at the Red Thread workshop at Ghost Ranch. This was one of her projects
This is one of the projects that Angel has just completed. She is taking an on line class. 
She also experimented with some direct eco printing. These cards are the result.
There was also a Diva meeting this week.
Maureen shared her knowledge of Spoon Flower with Susan and the rest of us.
Cheri had new work to share too. This is one of her pieces from QBL.
Noel also had work from QBL to share with us.
Lots of nice hand work here.
Liesi did some dyeing with her grandchildren this summer and she shared it with us.
Both meetings were lively and enjoyable.
Associated Artist is having its Members show this week. This is Barbara’s piece from that show.
This is my work at the show.
Progress Report: Seven Feathers 
This quilt is 28″ w X 48″ l. I finished the reflective quilting this week.
I am glad to have learned the processes that Betty Busby teaches.
I made the marbleized fabric at QBL about 30 years ago. The batik is from the day we made it at Regina’s earlier this spring. 
Tee Shirt Quilt 2 I finished up this work yesterday too. I am glad to have completed the project. Now I need to get it to my daughter and onto the family.
Night Fires I have finished all the free motion work on the orange and yellow sections of this quilt. I want to add some hot spots with red. I think I will do the work on the dark parts of the forest first though.
Apples ans Chickadees I have started to do the machine quilting on this project.
Coral Sea This is just the beginning of this project. It has been a long time sense I have done a sea floor piece and I thought I would like the stretch again.
New Project- old lace I need a hand work project for my trip to Chicago in Oct. So I am beginning by building this back ground.
Topographical 
I am still couching down the blue yarn on the brown sections of this work.
Wool Rounds I have button whole stitch around all the wool circles but one. It is relaxing.
Childhood Memories; The Bell Visit
When we were in the Tetons my aunt Marce and uncle Paul brought my cousin Russell out for a visit. Uncle Paul was a man who loved to play practical jokes. While they were visiting he spent one afternoon in the ranger station setting on the floor chipping out arrow heads. Then when he got home to the farm in Iowa he dropped them around the barn lot and had a good time rediscovering them when ever a sales man showed up. After picking up an arrow head he would make little disparaging statements like” Oh no another one” and preparing to toss it aside. The sales man always offered him money of the “find” from the “ old Indian encampment.”
The second day of their visit we went to visit Craters of the Moon. That meant a drive across the continental divide. Gene, Russell and I were in the back section of the station wagon. The boys started daring one another to eat the play dough. I did not get into that. As we climbed higher and higher with all the switchbacks the two to them got sick- we had to stop the car and they both exited quickly and threw up over the side of the mountain. I never told anyone why they got ill. They were fine when we got to the park. I do remember that although we stayed mostly on the paths with our running and exploring, the sharp lava glass nearly shredded the soles of our shoes. It was a good exhausting day.
Keep Creating
Carol
