More on SAQA Denver conference 06-27-11

One evening during the SAQA conference in Denver we had an opportunity to drive to Golden, CO, to see several exhibits.  Since Ruth and I were only using the front seat of the Lexus we stopped at the gathering spot and asked if any two ladies wanted a ride. We were joined by Felica Lyons of SCalifornia and Nancy Turbitt of Rhode Island.  We saw the exhibit by the Front Range Contemporary Quilters at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden and the SAQA traveling exhibit "Sightlines" at the Quilters Newsletter Magazine/Creative Crafts Group Gallery also in Golden.  Then we drove back to Denver to visit the Ice Cube Gallery where Carol Ann Waugh had a one-woman exhibit of her new work.  We saw some great quilts and I even purchased two!  

When we were looking for the Ice Cube Gallery we came across the strangest sight.  It was a sort of wagon with a bar down the middle and people sitting on either side pedaling.  Hard to explain and this picture I took is hardly any help.  .   
  However, Nancy Turbitt  ( http://studiogirasole.blogspot.com/ ) looked it up on the Internet and sent me this URL.  It is a very strange sight - so if you go to Denver keep your eyes open.

Del, your picture came out so much clearer than mine did. Mine is kind of a blur of lights as we passed by. What a fun night it was! Nancy
