Summer Travels from Becca's Crazy Projects

We stopped at the World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho.

I didn't take many photos. This is the Harpy Eagle. You don't get the size of this amazing raptor in photos. We also got to see the American Kestrel up close as part of their regular presentation.

This art piece was too great to not capture. This piece used the sculpted rattlesnake to support the bird.

The facility is expanding to house more raptors and provide more conservation and education about these amazing creatures at the top of their food chain.

We visited Shoshone Falls Park to see the waterfall.

The markers were plentiful.

We took our time. It ...

Idaho Quilt Retreat.....Day 3 & 4 from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full

I continue to work with my hand dyes...

I challenged myself to see just how far

I could go with curved piecing...

this top has no puckers, flat as a board !

I am using leftover strips and scraps

to create a border treatment

for the curved top...

Playing around with improv blocks...

I am liking the bold X blocks

to balance out all of those curves...

I also tried improv flying geese,

but they aren't the right fit...

The improv floating triangles blocks

seem to work in the borders...

Okay, I have a plan...

now to create more blocks ...

We've Made The Move to Idaho! AND A #GIVEAWAY! from Sister Of The Divide

THE WINNER OF THE GIVEAWAY IS MARY ANNE FOX. CONGRATULATIONS!Well 2020 has certainly been an interesting year for us. I haven't been blogging too much this year, my plate has been full. As many have been and are currently doing, we have made the move from California to Idaho. It's very different living in a neighborhood again after so many years of living in the forest. We couldn't be happier!
