Quilt Inspirations..........

I've been in Colorado for the last two weeks. If this is autumn..........sign me up! Shorts, tank tops and sandals every day. I could get used to this weather!

My sister in law was here for a visit, and we had so much fun hiking, exploring wineries, galleries.....and enjoying the beautiful scenery, which has given me some new quilt inspiration!

Above are close up shots of mica on the Mica Mine trail. It's a great little hike, with some amazing geology.

I need to get a flower book, so I can identify the beautiful flowers I see on hikes around here. This reminds me of an Indian Paintbrush, but not sure that's what it is. Anyone know?

I discovered I have allergies around here this time of year. I'm blaming it on these beautiful yellow bushes!

Roxane.........this one's for you!

Oh, How I love textures!

.......and more textures!

O.K....There are signs of Autumn up in the mountains!

Azura, a beautiful little gallery/winery overlooking Paonia.

A view from Terror Creek Winery in Paonia, CO. What a beautiful setting, and a wonderful Pinot Noir!




And..... a photo of grapes from Two Rivers Winery, where some of the great local wine comes from!

I hope you've enjoyed my Colorado photos!
