We enjoyed our field trip to Cody, Wyoming and visit to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. I ran out of camera battery part of the way through the Plains Indian Museum but did get a few pictures. I had never seen or even heard of moose hair embroidery. It was just exquisite. We also saw a pair of moccasins that were completely beaded in a yellow and black harlequin pattern on the soles; obviously for wearing while riding, not walking.
The Chevy van held 8 quilters/knitters just fine and 8 quilters/knitters weigh less than 6 boxes of quilt frames and booth paraphernalia, so the van was happy.

| "Heart of the Storm" |
John finished his Alzheimer's Challenge quilt, "Heart of the Storm" and it is ready to ship. This is his 2010 entry in to the "World Series" Challenge - you can learn more at Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. Last year the 4 quilts in the challenge raised $10,000 for Alzheimer's research. This year there are two teams so we all hope the quilts net even more! The little wallhanging is 16" by 16".

| "Seedlings" |
Another project is almost done; John's contribution to the 2010 IQA Miniature Auction at International Quilt Festival. It is all pieced and ready to quilt. This Pine Burr variation is 18" x 18" and is called "Seedlings".
No, it is not paper pieced.

Stay cool; I'm trying to do my outside work in the morning so I can be inside while it is the hottest, how about you?
