ARTIST NOTES: The most accessible (but still mind-blowing, and life-threatening) hiking route up Longs passes through the cirque on the right, through the Keyhole, and ascends the west side to the football-field sized summit. In this winter portrait, Chasm Lake is iced over. Better to climb Longs on that one day every summer when there are no thunderstorms.

ARTIST NOTES: Named by miners in the 1860s who were perplexed by a mineral they found on this mountain's side. I am charmed by the use of the word "quandary" by men who likely had little formal education. As a child, I witnessed the same use of half-dollar words by my own relatives who were born during that time.

Bring the outdoors home with this beautifully hand-crafted quilt, inspired by the tools, moments, and quiet magic of time spent outside. Featuring thoughtfully stitched camping scenes with tents and trail gear, this piece celebrates the simple, meaningful experiences that connect us to nature.

On the reverse, a constellation pattern reflects the wonder of clear night skies and the perspective we gain when we step away from the everyday. It's a reminder of the same awe and curiosity that Cottonwood Institute students experience on course: looking up, slowing down, and finding their place in something bigger.

More than just a quilt, this is a piece rooted in connection: to the outdoors, to community, and to the idea that time in nature can shape who we are. Whether it lives in your home or joins you on your next adventure, it will bring warmth, inspiration, and a sense of the wild wherever it goes.
