This is the first of several quilts I have in mind to go with my essays and Tom's photography about the National Parks we have visited.
This one commemorates the time in the Grand Tetons that Tom ran across a grizzly bear and two cubs on his way back to the lodge after an early morning photo shoot.
I'm writing an essay called "Beaver and Bear" (he was startled by a beaver while walking along the river, and this bear and her cubs were really only a short distance away).
I'm entering this one in a juried art show and hope it makes it in. It's all hand quilted - which I have been working on like a maniac for the last five weeks! The next western quilt I will tackle is one for Monument Valley, which I've already started, and after that one for Mesa Verde, which I've got sketched out.
