Connecting While perusing social media Debby Brown posted this link for ways to connect with one another while we are refraining from in-person contact. I knew about one of the ways for personal contact, the other two were new to me. The Quilt Show is having a membership sale right now. I rejoined last night… Continue reading Connecting & Freeing Up

Embracing Quirkiness & Connections Quilt Festival
and a Reality Check One of the reminders from my time at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show is that I'm quirky. Shocking! I love being quirky. Embrace quirk, let go of seriousness. Seriously.

In the Quilt-iverse

The Quilt Show has her TQS Legend show available for viewing and Luana Rubin has a delightful interview with her on the equilter youtube channel. In her honor I'm… Continue reading In the Quilt-iverse
