Pow Wow

These photos were taken at the annual pow wow in Bishop, California, where Native Americans come together from across the US and Canada for a little friendly competition in traditional dancing, singing, and drumming. Their clothing and regalia are all handmade, either by themselves or by family members as gifts. Their wardrobes are also typically handed down within their families—one elder was wearing and dancing in an outfit that was at least 85 years old.

Red Pepper Quilts

This blog makes me green with envy! Her designs and technique are simply flawless. I love her palettes she chooses for each project, and this is a great source of inspiration for future quilting projects. Many of her projects are available for purchase at her ETSY store. Rita is located in Melbourne, Austraila. I am heading to Australia soon, it would be a dream to learn a thing or two from her!
