Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Cheyenne, Here I Come

Tomorrow morning, it's back to work, judging at the Cheyenne Heritage Quilters' annual show. I have a few days of appraising afterward, as well. 
     I've been doing this gig for years -- at least 7 or 8, and maybe a decade. The show is wonderful. This guild has a real knack especially for scrap quilts, as well as mixing applique with other quilt styles. I always learn something new from them. 
     The Mama will stay home this time, and cook for the Brick. He needs someone to baby him, after my being gone most of the summer.

Have a great week -- and stop by the show, if you can! Here's the link.
