*a little help from my friends* quilt

I'm back! 

Well, kinda. 

L-man and I got back earlier this week from backpacking in Yosemite

and I'll post more pics of that later.  After being away from a computer for more than a week, I've had to clear out my google reader and will be in and out for the next week or so. I'm working on finishing my "a little help from my friends" quilt for my scraps to treasure project, which was supposed to be finished by Oct. 1st.  I'm not entirely sure if I'll make it by then, but hopefully will be very close. 

Here are a few pics of my quilt on paper, and then the current state of progress. 

I only have 4 more blocks to sew, so off I go to my machine!

For the next couple of weeks during my little blog break, I have set up some posts for your viewing pleasure of the Tour de Fat from this last weekend.  The "tour" is put on by New Belgium brewery here in town that makes Fat Tire beer.  Basically, thousands of people dress up in wierd costumes and ride through town on their bikes.  Totally fun!  If you are ever near Fort Collins when this event is happening, you should seriously check it out.  There were over 10,000 bikes this year and it was a total kick!  I took over 100 pics and I could have taken loads more if my camera card hadn't been full. 

Anyway, enjoy the show!
