The Travelers (Andreas Canyon Trail)

Mike Hand, 2023. (diptych) 72"x 36" acrylic painting on canvas

[lookingforcactus]

Went to a big quilting convention today and am feeling inspired so here's todays edition of

What the fuck do you mean that's a quilt??

Most people have no idea about how much craft goes into quilting or how much quilting as a craft, art, and even a science has been evolving in recent years. So here's my personal appreciation post

And btw the flat images do NOT even do these quilts justice, especially in terms of the absolutely amazing and detailed texture embroidery that a lot of quilters are using these days. Up close the texture and the sheer detail of many of them is just stunning

These are all from the Road to California quilt show 2023

1st Place: Portrait

Title: Sharing the Moment Maker: Hollis Chatelain Quilter: Hollis Chatelain Design Basis: Maker's Original Design African-American women are a powerful force in motivating their families and communities to vote. I wanted to create a piece about this and highlight the fact that African-American women did not receive the right to vote in all 50 states until 1965 when the Voting Rights Act was passed. I met Phyllis at a rally. I was drawn to her and asked if she would be my model. Without hesitation she said yes. She later brought her friend Loretta with her.

1st Place: Naturescape

Title: Augustinii Maker: Andrea Brokenshire Quilter: Andrea Brokenshire Design Basis: Maker's Original Design “Augustinii” is a blue/purple variety of rhododendron my momma planted within her forest garden. I was lucky to be home on when it was in bloom. When I see this quilt, I am reminded of my momma and how she loves to tend her garden and “grub in the dirt.”

1st Place: Pictorial

Title: Leap of Faith Maker: Kestrel Michaud Quilter: Kestrel Michaud Design Basis: Original design In this Steampunk fantasy world, men and women have taken to the skies on ships held aloft by hot air, ingenuity, and luck. Faith’s favorite past-time is bungee-jumping off the side of her airship, with Bubo, her pet clockwork owl. This quilt depicts the photo Faith took on her latest jump to test her brand-new camera and selfie stick.

2nd Place: Naturescape

Title: Homage to Birches Bare Maker: Jessica Noble Quilter: Jessica Noble Design Basis: Fabric recreation of Kesler Woodward's Birches Bare, acrylic on I fell in love with Kesler Woodward’s Birches Bare painting and knew I had to create it in fabric. I cut about 1,700 pattern pieces out of freezer paper and then fused fabric, through the fall of 2019 until the pandemic started. During this time, I homeschooled my two children and the quilt sat in quarantine. I quilted this freehand on my midarm in the winter of 2021. I managed to take the majority of the summer of 2022 on the binding.

2nd Place: Pictorial

Title: Toroweap Overlook Maker: Sandra Mollon Quilter: Sandra Mollon Design Basis: Derived from a photo Toroweap Overlook, in the Grand Canyon National Park, is an incredible view of the Colorado River. When John Slot sent me the photo to consider for an art quilt, I realized the complexity of the amount of the pieces it would require, but knew I had to do it. Raw edge fused, machine quilted, small amounts of media.

3rd Place: Pictorial

Title: Catch it Yuri! Maker: Hiroko Miyama and Masanobu Miyama Quilter: Hiroko Miyama Design Basis: Maker's Original Design Inspired by dogs’ action. Yuri, golden retriever big jumped to catch a ball and Ponta, mix hardly waited his turn. Dogs and girl were fused appliquéd.

Seriously can you believe these are all quilts!!! incredible amazing showstopping spectacular

6th Avenue (urban canyons) - New York City by Andreas Komodromos

[eqt-95]

a new kind of romance, pt 8

part 7 | mistletoe magic - - - - -

🎆 | new years

Kara was late.

She was more than late.

Maybe that’s why she took the long way back to National City; first cutting down the Appalachian before soaring over the long expanse of Texas then diverting toward the Grand Canyon and finally getting lost over the Rockies.

Hours had passed. Too many, by Kara’s calculations. Even before her detour, midnight had come and gone. Fireworks rang in a new chapter and exploded in bright, bursting colors overhead as a taunting reminder. Because Supergirl didn’t have time for things like new beginnings no matter how much Kara Danvers wanted it. 

Because Kara was late.

She was more than late.

Now instead of fireworks, the expanse of darkness was broken by glistening stars in a cloudless sky. The silence was broken by the moaning of snowy mountains and the raging of rushing waters and the howling of winds, but that orchestra of sounds did nothing to distract from the thoughts rattling in her own mind.

Thoughts that hadn’t quieted for nearly two weeks.

It was in this state of unchanged unsettledness that she resigned herself toward the skyline she called home; a home where parties had ended and resolutions were made and the chance of a midnight kiss had passed.

Because Kara was late.

She was more than late.

Maybe that was why she lingered high above the city’s tallest penthouse littered with forgotten balloons, confetti, empty champagne bottles, and champagne problems. Because how could Kara hold it against the innocent lives caught in a burning building for the heartbreak her life was on the cusp of?

She watched a lone silhouette weave around the couch and chairs, stacking plates and collecting flutes. And oh how that silhouette looked stunning, dressed down into a familiar sweatshirt with cuffs bunched at the wrists and a stark contrast to the gown Kara knew Lena was wearing at the strike of midnight.

Because Kara was late.

She was more than late.

“Here, let me get these.”

Maybe it was the guilt and regret and ache to undo the last three hours of absence that made Kara miss the second silhouette and the second heartbeat and the way the first silhouette gave in to the offered help.

Plates were stacked in companionable silence until surfaces were cleared and the memory of an evening Kara had no memory of vanished, leaving only Lena and Andrea.

Maybe it was the denial and blind hope and arrogance that she still had a chance that made Kara miss the soft music playing through the penthouse and the way Andrea’s hips swayed to the tempo and the way she stepped into Lena’s personal space and the way she led her into the open area still littered with forgotten bits of glitter and color and spun her round and round and made Lena’s somber expression break into a gentle smile and sent a pair of hands that were not Kara’s securely around her waist.

But there Andrea was, standing in for a role Kara wanted to play.

“Any New Year’s resolutions?” Andrea asked mid-spin, and it made Kara’s chest ache.

“You know I don’t.”

Andrea hummed thoughtfully. “I guess hoping and resolutions are different.”

“That isn’t…” Lena began, halting mid-step and posture stiffening. “It’s different, Andy.”

And for a moment Kara found her own hope again in the way Lena stepped backward. It was shattered when Andrea followed.

“I know, I know,” Andrea replied, and the softness felt real - just as real as the way her hands tugged Lena back into her space. “That was tactless.”

“It’s fine.”

“No, it isn’t,” Andrea said, a hand rising to cup Lena’s downturned face, “and I’m sorry. I just worry.”

“There’s no need.”

“Isn’t there?”

“Andy-”

“You can’t hold your breath forever,” Andrea whispered in a way that would feel intimate to Lena but was a megaphone in Kara’s ears. 

“I’m not.”

“You are.”

And Lena didn’t deny it this time with words. She confessed it with a broken sob. An exhale.

Kara was late.

She was more than late.

MASTERLIST

NEXT CHAPTER >>

The morning sun cast its warm embrace over the campsite, illuminating the aftermath of your knife training with Daryl. Post-training, Daryl had promptly sent you back to camp, citing the need to track a sizable deer. Eager to glean more survival skills, you insisted he let you tag along. However, Daryl swiftly dismissed the idea, asserting that what he needed was the deer, not your potentially frightened presence clinging to a tree.

A slight frown etched across your face as you absorbed his refusal, but you wished him caution nonetheless. Daryl, ever the gruff archer, grunted a dismissive reply, telling you to focus on your own worries. Returning to camp, you encountered the scrutinizing glances Carol had warned you about. Unfazed, you brushed off the speculative looks and turned your attention to preparing, well more like listing your necessities, for the upcoming run to Atlanta of group of volunteers.

The volunteer squad boasted an array of personalities: Glenn, Morales, Jacqui, Andrea, T-Dog, and the unexpected addition of Merle. You couldn't suppress a smile at the thought of Merle being absent for a whole day, freeing you from his intrusive catcalls. Despite being occasionally annoyed by Daryl's presence, you appreciated his protective stance when it came to Merle's inappropriate behavior. It seemed that the older Dixon brother couldn't resist throwing a lewd comment your way, but with Daryl around, you felt a sense of relief and gratitude.

Glenn was knee-deep in organizing his backpack when the familiar sight of your boots interrupted his concentration. Looking up, he was met with your shy smile as you knelt down to his level, handing him what seemed to be a crumpled-up paper. It resembled a list, and Glenn couldn't help but wonder if he was about to get dragged into some post-apocalyptic scavenger hunt.

With a curious raise of his eyebrows, Glenn took the paper, and you quickly explained, "Those are the only things I really need." Glenn, being the agreeable guy he was, nodded and began perusing the list. It seemed pretty standard at first – essentials, art supplies, clothes – until his eyes hit an unexpected item. That mysterious item that left his eyes wider than the Grand Canyon.

"W-what... and who do you need this for?" Glenn stammered, eyes wide as saucers, looking up at you, who was now sporting a sheepish grin.

You, leaning in conspiratorially, replied, "Look, it's something I should've packed ages ago, considering the whole 'end of the world' situation. Just grab it, and let's keep it between us, okay?"

Glenn, still processing, mumbled, "But why?"

You, leaning in as if sharing the world's juiciest gossip, confessed, "You know, for emergencies."

Glenn's face contorted in bewilderment. "Emergencies? What kind of—"

You cut him off with a sly smile. "Just trust me, Glenn. It's a must-have in a world gone crazy."

Glenn scratched his head, muttering, "Alright, but who's it for?"

You chuckled, "Me, obviously. I'm not taking any chances in this geek-filled world."

Glenn's eyes widened further, if that was even possible. "Wait, what? You're serious?"

You let out a dramatic sigh. "Just shut up, alright? And if you spill this secret, I swear I'll go medieval on your manhood while you sleep, ending your bloodline right then and there."

Glenn's eyes widened in horror, and he immediately reassured her, "No way! I-I won't tell a soul, I swear! Not even my own reflection in the mirror!"

You flashed Glenn a grin, the kind you reserves for anyone handing over grub. "Nice to know," you chirped, as Glenn awkwardly chuckled. Your grin wavered, morphing into a mix of worry and seriousness. "Hey, be careful out there, okay? Atlanta's like an undead playground, geeks everywhere. Just watch your back. And, if you can't get the stuff I need, it's cool, no biggie. Just come back in one piece, alive-in-person style, not alive-in-geek style. Got it?"

Glenn took a nervous breath, shooting you a tight smile. "I got this. I practically own Atlanta streets. And don't worry, I'll snag that... thing."

Rolling your eyes, you retorted, "No sudden moves or crazy stunts, okay? I don't need you getting yourself geekified."

Glenn grinned confidently, "Geek? Not a chance."

"Yeah, but your recklessness and stupidity might do the job," you replied with a nonchalant shrug. "Because you're a dumbass."

Glenn squinted at you, "I'm not dumb!" he defended, jabbing a finger your way. "And just so you know, I go off-plan because my gut tells me to." He laughed, and you joined in, shaking your head. "My gut says it's the right move, okay?"

You felt touched. Those were the words you had used when you first brought him to camp, facing doubts about adding another mouth to feed.

Shaking your head, you scoffed, "Look at you, spending too much time with me, turning into little ol' dramatic, socially awkward, terrible-at-comforting Y/N Grimes."

Glenn grimaced, "No way. I'm not becoming Y/N freaking Grimes, the drama queen."

"Hey!" You slapped your chest, looking slightly hurt. "That stings, you know!"

You both chuckled, rising from the ground. Glenn huffed and blew a raspberry, and you countered with a soft smile. Placing your hands on his shoulders, you looked him in the eye. "Come back, Glenn. Seriously, in one piece. No bites, scratches, or anything hurting, okay? Promise me."

"I will," Glenn nodded.

"You promise?"

Glenn scoffed, shaking his head. "I don't do promises."

You, puzzled, asked, "What?"

Glenn chuckled, "I don't do promises. Why? Because I know I'm coming back to you. No need for words when it's a sure thing."

Before you could start tearing up, you pulled Glenn into a tight embrace, burying your face in his neck. Glenn reciprocated; it was the first time he'd be on the run without his best friend watching his back. He had to come back to you, being the only one who had your back.

"Hey," Your muffled voice interrupted his thoughts, "make sure to leave Merle Dixon behind, yeah?"

Glenn chuckled. "I'll see what I can do."

As they broke the hug, you looked up at him with a half-smile. "And no unnecessary heroics, okay? We're not in a comic book."

Glenn grinned. "No capes for me, promise."

You playfully rolled your eyes. "Oh, please. You're not that cool."

Glenn mockingly gasped, putting a hand to his chest. "Ouch. Right in the coolness."

It was afternoon, and you found yourself with nothing to do. Daryl was off hunting in the woods, Glenn was on a run in Atlanta, and Carl was with Lori and Shane. Not in the mood to draw, you lay in your tent, staring at the top. When your back itched, you turned and was surprised to find a guitar. Glenn must've brought it, so you picked it up and headed outside.

The camp was quiet, with everyone seemingly taking siestas. You sat by the campfire, strumming the guitar and humming freely. You were halfway through when Lori joined you. You straightened up, stopping abruptly.

Lori questioned, "Why'd you stop?"

You shrugged. "Not in the mood."

Lori furrowed her brows. "Because of me?"

"Not you, Lori. Just... thinking about the past," You replied, rolling your eyes internally.

Lori pressed, "But you were singing, then stopped when I sat here. Anything wrong?"

You thought, This woman can be too pushy sometimes. Can't she push something that would make me happy?

"I," You took a breath, "I was thinking about Rick, alright? He used to sing with me. Last time was when Daddy was alive. And now..." She couldn't finish.

"Now that Rick's gone?" Lori asked.

You narrowed your eyes. "He's not dead. Rick is not dead."

Lori gave a sad smile. "He is, sweetie. Gone, somewhere better. We need to accept that."

You stared at Lori. "Why would you say that? Rick is not dead. He will be back, and he'll find us."

"Sweetheart," Lori sniffled, tears threatening. "You'll accept it someday. You're grieving. It hurts, but you need to accept the truth."

You glared, stood up. "The only thing that would make me feel good is if you don't believe Shane's lies. Be yourself." Then, you walked away.

From a former law enforcement park ranger and investigator, this female-driven true crime adventure follows the author’s quest to find missing hikers along the Pacific Crest Trail by pairing up with an eclectic group of unlikely allies.   As a park ranger with the National Park Service's law enforcement team, Andrea Lankford led search and rescue missions in some of the most beautiful (and dangerous) landscapes across America, from Yosemite to the Grand Canyon. But though she had the support of the agency, Andrea grew frustrated with the service's bureaucratic idiosyncrasies, and left the force after twelve years. Two decades later, however, she stumbles across a mystery that pulls her right back where she left - three young men have vanished from the Pacific Crest Trail, the 2,650-mile trek made famous by Cheryl Strayed's Wild , and no one has been able to find them. It’s bugging the hell out of her.   Andrea’s concern soon leads her to a wild environment unlike any she’s ever ventured into - missing person Facebook groups. Andrea launches an investigation, joining forces with an eclectic team of amateurs who are determined to solve the cases: a mother of the missing, a retired pharmacy manager, and a mapmaker who monitors terrorist activity for the government. Together, they track the activities of kidnappers and murderers, investigate a cult, rescue a psychic in peril, cross paths with an unconventional scientist, and reunite an international fugitive with his family. Searching for the missing is a brutal psychological and physical test with the highest stakes, but eventually their hardships begin to bear strange fruits—ones that lead them to places and people they never saw coming.

Bixby Bridge, CA (No. 3)

Over 300,000 board feet (700 m3) of Douglas fir timber, used to build a 250-foot (76 m) high falsework to support the arch during construction, was transported from the railroad terminal in Monterey over the narrow, one-way road to the bridge site. The falsework, built by crews led by E. C. Panton, the general superintendent, and I. O. Jahlstrom, resident engineer of Ward Engineering Co., was difficult to raise, because it was constantly exposed to high winds. Some of the falsework timbers were 10 by 10 inches (250 mm × 250 mm).[18] It took two months to construct the falsework alone. When high waves threatened the falsework foundation, construction was halted for a short time until winter storms abated.

The crews excavated 4,700 cubic yards (3,600 m3) of earth and rock. Eight hundred and twenty-five trucks brought in 600,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. Sand and gravel were supplied from a plant in Big Sur.

Construction required 45,000 sacks or 6,600 cubic yards (5,000 m3) of cement which was transported from Davenport, near Santa Cruz, and from San Andreas. Crews began placing concrete on November 27. The concrete was transported across the canyon on platforms using slings suspended from a cable 300 feet (91 m) above the creek.

The bridge was completed on October 15, 1932, although the highway was not finished for another five years. At its completion, the bridge cost $199,861 and, at 360 feet (110 m), was the longest concrete arch span on the California State Highway System. The bridge was necessary to complete the two-lane road which opened in 1937 after 18 years of construction. The completion of construction was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Dr. John L.D. Roberts, who had conceived of the need for the road.
