In just a couple of hours I’ll be teaching at Poppy Quilt & Sew.
I got to thinking about the definitions of my 2022 Word of the Year: Cultivate. (What’s your Word?) here are two parts of the definition:
to develop or improve by education or training; train; refine:to cultivate a singing voice.
to promote the growth or development of (an art, science, etc.); foster.
A couple of months ago a friend and I talked about root combing a process whereby a root bound plant has the roots gently opened out, shedding some parts of the roots, giving them the freedom to grow and develop in a new pot or in the ground. This process takes a little bit of time and gives the roots the opportunity to spread out giving a foundation for the plant to grow and get nutrients from the soil.
Part of 2022 is a Thread of the Week. Follow on Instagram for more.
Last week it was Twist 4017. This week I’m not sure as I won’t get into the studio until later this afternoon after I’m done teaching. Let me know what thread you’d like to see stitched out.
If you would take a moment:
And the great Picture Show
And the place we engage in so many characters
And the place where we chat each other up
And the great big bulletin board and idea wall
Happy Quilting!
Teri
