I hope you've had a chance to check out the 250 photos I've posted so far <\/a>from my tour of Ireland. This week I am posting photos from the first few days of our tour – from the Irish Quilt Festival in Galway<\/a>. <\/p>\n

eQuilter was the sponsor of the "My Quilted Garden" exhibit which was in the beautiful ivy-covered "castle" on the university grounds. Here is a closeup of Ros Pollock's beautiful quilt "Jaggy Thistle" from that exhibit. (An Irish Thistle<\/a>) You can see this whole quilt, plus other quilts from the IQFOI (International Quilt Festival of Ireland) on my photo page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You may have heard that we have several fires burning in our state of Colorado. Until today the fires were all an hour or more away, but now we have a fire of our own in the foothills of Boulder, just behind the mountain with our famous Flatiron rock formations. <\/p>\n

eQuilter is 5 minutes northeast of Boulder, and the fire is southwest of town, so we are on the opposite side of the city from the fire<\/a>. Our oldest son lives 12 blocks from tonight's pre-evacuation area, and he was not able to go to work because the road was closed down. Tonight I was able to see the flames on the top of the mountain from a distance, but it is nowhere near our home or business. However I have many friends in the evacuation or pre-evacuation zone, and we are all praying for rain. <\/p>\n

On July 11th I will be attending the evening award ceremony at Quilt Colorado in Loveland<\/a>, Colorado. It is a good thing they moved this bi-annual event from Estes Park I guess, since they just had a fire up in Estes. CQC has expanded the event with lots of great teachers and events<\/a>, so check it out!<\/p>\n

Have you seen the movies Moonrise Kingdom<\/a> and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel<\/a> yet? There is lots of color inspiration in these 2 summer movies, so if you want to get out of the heat for a few hours in an air-conditioned theater, I highly recommend these two!
