Things are really awful and I can’t add anything constructive to the discourse that hasn’t already been said more eloquently by someone with a larger following. So, I’m just going to add my photos as a timeline cleanse. It’s the only unique, positive contribution I feel I can make.

Radnor Lake deer - 11/13/2010
Photo of a young deer framed by two skinny trees with Radnor Lake and an autumn tree line directly behind it. The deer is looking to the right, pausing its leaf snacking to listen to a noise in the forest.

Photo of a grey road curving upwards and off into the distance around a bend. The road is lined with autumn trees and colorful leaf litter. On the left side of the road, there's a WPA-built stacked-stone fence that's falling down a bit.

Photo of a chipmunk sitting on a red brick garden divider in front of a yellow marigold shrub. She has some dirt on her chin. Please don't judge.

When I took photos today, one photo captured some rainbow sun rays!

Autumn leaf - October 30, 2011
Photo of an orange autumn leaf with a hole held by a hand. The sun is shining through the hole in a little pretty starburst. There are trees in silhouette against a golden sky in the background.

My Trailhead quilt is complete! This was part of the Toad Circle mystery quilt sew along, pattern by Heck Yes Sew Co.
Indoor photo of the quilt. It’s a darker blue background with quarter cut courthouse steps blocks arranged in columns. The blocks are in green and light blue fabrics. There are tan accents. Outdoor photo of the quilt. I wish the leaves were turning here but it’s still pretty warm. See first photo for quilt description. Photo of the corners of the quilt showing the background fabric and big stitch binding. The background fabric has little cartoon scenes of campfires and cabins with a fox, an owl and a mouse. The binding is light blue with light blue thread. Photo of the back of the quilt with a print showing little campfire scenes and woodland creatures.

I love when a leaf just randomly dangles from a few strands of spider silk - 10/10/2008
Photo of a brown leaf hanging mid-air in front of an out of focus background of trees and sky. If you zoom in you can see it's hanging from a couple strands of spider silk.

Fall in Utah is pretty spectacular - 10/06/2008
Photo of a road curving off into the distance. The road is surrounded by tall, thing white-barked trees, so tall the sky is obscured, and in various stages of changing color for the fall. The leaves are covering the roadway but you can see where car tires have pushed the leaves around to reveal the path of the tires.

Apparently 17 years ago today, I was in Salt Lake City, Utah taking photos of flowers. I like how they have peach fuzz and it sort of looks like there's an angry spider face in the middle.
Photo of a white flower with purple streaks. In the background are bright orange flowers and green leaves slightly out of focus.

Final outdoor shot of my Flora Fields quilt and closeup shot of the big stitch binding. Highly recommend this gorgeous pattern by Heck Yes Sew Co.
Photo of my Flora Fields quilt hanging outside. The quilt has petals in pinks purples and green with a yellow accent in the middle. The quilting is a bit wonky but we won’t talk about that. Photo of the big stitch striped with quilt labels.

This is the blog post that inspired making my own template and trying this out. It’s A LOT of marking and if you use and air erasable pen, the markings fade pretty quickly. So, you can only mark one row at a time. I may try chalk next time.

I tried a new quilting technique this weekend. It’s not perfect but I like how it turned out and I learned a lot of good lessons for next time!

Oh, I’m so sad to see that Nora is leaving the Oregon Zoo. I was hoping to see her next summer when I move to Vancouver, WA. If you haven’t read The Loneliest Polar Bear by Kale Williams, I highly recommend it. It beautifully documents Nora’s story.

I finished my mini Mt.Pisgah quilt today! This gorgeous pattern is by Hampton Quilt Studio.
Miniature star quilt with a dark blue background. The star is in light blue and light green fabrics. There are cream fabric accents. The binding is blue with white dots and the quilting is on a grid that follows the piecing on the quilt.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Another quilt top finished this weekend. This is the Trailhead quilt by Heck Yes Sew Co. for the Toad Circle Mystery Quilt Sew Along. These colors are SO hard to photograph.
Photo of a hanging quilt with courthouse step blocks that have been cut in quarters arranged in rows. The background is dark blue and the striped blocks are dark green, sage green, light blue and light green. There are tan accents in the middle and edges.

Everything is terrible but I’m just going to quilt through it to attempt to maintain sanity.
