Autumn Maples 42”x65” leaves are just beginnin Autumn Maples 42”x65” leaves are just beginning their gradual turn of color toward shades of autumn. I found this hand dye of @lisa.reber to be so inspiring. I intentionally kept the other elements of the design quite spare so as not distract from it. We are fortunate, in the Eastern United States to have foliage to enjoy. Our hearts go out to those in the west struggling with the loss of so much of theirs to fires.

Posted @withregram • @pinkfeathers From Springer Posted @withregram • @pinkfeathers From Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine, my nearly 52 days spent on the Appalachian Trail were like a hyperlapse of rising and falling suns, moons, stars, storms, calm, mountains, valleys... it wasn’t so much a daily endeavor, but more like a singular continuous stretch, moving ever forward. I felt so confident and prepared going into it, but I don’t think anything could have prepared me for what I was about to endure, other than doing “the thing” itself. I thought I knew, but I had no idea. I learned and grew in a way I never have. The trail taught me so much about myself and the good of other people. It taught me that while it’s impossible to control your circumstances, you can choose how you respond. Every early morning I would think, “I don’t know how I can possibly do this”, and every late evening I would think, “I can’t believe I just did that.” The trail brought out my strengths, my flaws, my little experience and vast inexperience. I don’t know if I truly ever let myself believe I would make it to Katahdin until I was literally climbing the final ascent. I think the only way I could wrap my head around what I was doing was staying in the moment and putting one foot in front of the other. I didn’t know what the future would bring, but I could keep walking. As a supported endeavor, this was truly a team effort with Warren, aka Jupiter. He was completely committed to the task and did everything to “help and not hinder.” I feel so thankful to have had him in my corner. The saying, “It takes a village...” is also very fitting as I had so much help from friends, family, and kind strangers all along the way. I was so happy to be able to share this journey with those it seemed to mean a great deal to- both in person and through Jupiter’s faithful updates. The AT is a very special place and it’s no surprise that so many people are completely captivated by the trail. I think it will take a while to unpack all I experienced. Most quiet moments throughout the day, my mind drifts to the trail. In my dreams every night, I am still hiking. My aching feet and healing toe are a reminder that it hasn’t been so long. I’m a

That’s Mt. Katahdin in the distance and Mercury That’s Mt. Katahdin in the distance and Mercury is almost to the top. That will mean she has finished the entire Appalachian trail. She is scheduled be down off the mountain where we will meet her this evening. We’ve got Epsom salts, celebration cake, & take out menu waiting at the hotel room. We just want her safely in the car! #mercuryontheat
Play on Curves - 36” x 23”. I was once told, “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. But in this case I didn’t listen. I went crazy with the circles and extensions of curves with my thread. Oh well, it was fun! Link in profile #artquilt #artquilts #quiltersofinstagram #textileart #wallart
