A couple months ago I said to Paul &#8211; I wish I could take a week off just to sleep. Well, I got my wish but not the way I wanted. After a week at the nursing home managing my mom&#8217;s movement to a more intense level of care, the next week I had a pinched nerve and back spasm and spend the holiday weekend and most of last week flat on my back in bed. Yeah, be careful what you ask for. If you&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time in a chair on Zoom, be careful that first time you get back out to your pre-pandemic activities!<br><br>If you live in Colorado, please visit the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden, to see Barbara Yates Beasley&#8217;s current exhibit! We&#8217;ve put together an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sZAqB_T8cW4&amp;list=PLZgAQ0EdcSXinq8actFasXR7HAN3t6Tsn\">interview video with Barbara<\/a><\/strong> on our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/news\/videos?fn=nl_20210605193517\">video page<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; check it out if you have a few minutes. Her animal portrait quilts are amazing.<br><br>We&#8217;d like to give a warm welcome to Lindsye, our new warehouse manager. She fits in with our brightly colored fabrics, because she has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/category\/127\/color-palette-pinks-+-fuchsia?fn=nl_20210605193517\">bright pink<\/a><\/strong> hair. With her background at the Denver Art Museum, and managing at our local Pier 1 (until it closed during the pandemic), she brings an appreciation for art and textiles to our team. Also &#8211; small world &#8211; her dad was the conductor for a summer camp orchestra that Sophie attended a few years ago!<br><br>Also I&#8217;d like to brag a little about Sophie &#8211; she has finished her freshman year at CU Boulder as a music education major &#8211; and has made the Dean&#8217;s List. She&#8217;s working at eQuilter over the summer. Tonight we&#8217;re going to our first live music concert in over a year &#8211; a &#8220;Tiny Deck&#8221; concert on the back patio of her previous violin teacher&#8217;s house up in the mountains. This is the teacher who led Sophie and a group of students on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\/72157693756484420\">Swedish Fiddle Tour<\/a> 3 years ago. We are looking forward to some folk fiddling and Nickelharpa tunes among the pine trees this evening. I hope you are also enjoying some post-pandemic activities this weekend that will fill your heart and soul with creative juices.<br><br>Next weekend I will be giving an online lecture &#8220;International Quilt Trends&#8221; for the Dairy Barn, as a Quilt National fundraiser.
