Today's stop is my beautiful state -
COLORADO
It is filled with
beautiful views,
the Great Rocky Mountains,
breathtaking sunsets,
and so many great activities
outdoor and indoors.
I was given 50 cotton solids from Clothworks
new line American Brand Made and challenged to create a
Colorado license plate quilt block that represents
my beautiful state that I call home.
We have sweeping mountain views
from our windows.
Our family enjoys the great outdoors,
and all the beauty that our state has to offer.
In the summer, you can enjoying fishing,
Visiting the Puebloan cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde,
Dinosaur Park in La Junta,
Stopping in at the Air Force Academy,
Visiting Rocky Mountain National Park
Or hitting the slopes during those
snowy winter months.
I love the state that I live in
and I hope I represented the
beauty that I enjoy on
a daily basis.
I hope you enjoyed your stop to Colorado
and hope you come and visit us.
Colorado is just one of your stops this blog tour.
Travel the 50 states this summer
and pick up the pattern for each plate.
My pattern for my Colorado Plate
is found here on Craftsy.
Be sure to visit neighboring Nebraska today,
Clothworks is generously sending one winner
8 fat quarters from the
Grown and Made all right here in the
Good Old USA!!
Congrats to Margaret!!
Thanks to Clothworks for allowing
me this opportunity
Great trip through Colorado, Amy. You represent your state very well with your block. I love to visit Colorado and since it's only a hop ski and a jump from my place in Kansas, we visit often. Your Columbine is very pretty and your mountain looks perfect on your block. Thank goodness there aren't any Broncos on your block...lol

ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Colorado, I think of mountains and John Denver, and when we drive though on our way west (we live in Missouri), I'm always surprised by the miles and miles of open flat fields in eastern Colorado. Such interesting diversity.
ReplyDeleteGreat license plate-- it sings Colorado.
I am learning som many fun facts about all the states. Would love to visit Colorado.

What a great license plate Amy! thanks for the fun blog hop.
ReplyDeleteLove the block! As one of the Coloradans that does not live within views of the mountains, I wanted to remind you that we out on the plains have our rolling fields, that offer an entire different kind of beauty than the mountains. In our great state there is something for everyone.

I was in Denver for a convention a couple of summers ago. While we were there, we saw some of the sights in the area. We rode the cog railroad up Pikes Peak and saw the Air Force Academy and the beautiful red rock formations in the Garden of the Gods. The views were spectacular!
ReplyDeleteNever been to your state but would like to visit soon. Took a Ricky Tims Seminar in my native Michigan and would love to visit La Veta for a seminar someday. Liked the block very much. Elaine

ReplyDeleteColorado is indeed a beautiful state. I've been fortunate to visit a few times and to explore a bit in some of the amazing parks. Just during the summer months, though, though I grew up in Denmark, I'm not a winter sports kind of person, at all.

ReplyDeleteWe lived in Colorado Springs for 7 years and I loved seeing Pikes Peak daily. I didn't like the cold winters and the lack of humidity but other than that CO was a great tour for us. We still have friends living there and have been back a few times.
