At long last, another piece-fulness post! :-) They are few and far between I know. I missed Quilt Guild in July because we were on the trip, then in August I didn't feel well. It was great to be back last night. Cathy Geier was the guest speaker, and oh, was she FUNNY! Great presentation. And look at these amazing landscape quilts!

| Cathy's husband happened to be sitting on the edge of the stage. he offered to move, but I told him it was ok. The one on the left is of Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, and the one on the right was inspired by a painting. |

| Here is Cathy during her presentation. |

| She loves themes that use arches. |

And then here's what I saw on stage when we first arrived! Having just been to Monument Valley in July (and my header photo is one of my photos from that trip on A Colorful World) I was just blown away by this! I will HAVE to do this at some time! :-) I don't like the three panel idea. I will do it in one piece, I think. The photos just don't do it justice. It was really gorgeous!!!

 |
| And this is how it's done...though I have to admit, I'm not crazy about the use of a foundation-piecing method as much as she does. I don't like to foundation-piece. So, I will alter the method a bit for my own purposes. I am planning a landscape quilt for my grandson soon. |

And a parting shot. :-)
