The Root Connection: Mug rugs
http://therootconnection.blogspot.com/2015/05/mug-rugs.html
A quilt story I really want to tell. Friday, May 22, 2015. They can pack so much punch! They can be framed, or hung on the wall. They can fill up a sad looking spot in the house with colors and texture. I made one on Tuesday for an exchange at Philadelphia Modern Quilt Guild. I would rather call them mini art quilts. Little bits and pieces of scraps-confetti found its way into a square. Three design elements - colors, textures and contrast - randomly chosen but mindfully put together. They are looking pr...

The Root Connection: Birthdays and upcoming classes in St. Loius and Seattle area
http://therootconnection.blogspot.com/2015/08/birthdays-and-upcoming-classes-in-st.html
A quilt story I really want to tell. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Birthdays and upcoming classes in St. Loius and Seattle area. And all sorts of randomness. On Monday night I received a text from an old friend/neighbor which I have to share today. Unfortunately, I have not gone to many quilt shops and book stores to check if they are carrying my book so it is always nice to see when someone mentions seeing it at a shop. She was visiting a quilt shop in McMinneville, Oregon. And spotted my book! Last week ...

The Root Connection: Introducing Rail Fence Quilt Along
http://therootconnection.blogspot.com/2015/07/introducing-rail-fence-quilt-along.html
A quilt story I really want to tell. Friday, July 31, 2015. Introducing Rail Fence Quilt Along. Few of you have asked to start a quilt-along based on free-form block from my book. At the moment, rail fence is the quilt that's getting all of your attention. I think it is a great quilt to make. Considering what I went through while choosing the layout, I am hoping you all will go through the same dilemma. At first fabric selection was the most fun part. So I thought! I made a button for the QAL. Hooray!

A quilt story I really want to tell. Monday, July 6, 2015. Creative Christine and her Quilts. My friend Christine stopped by today with a great show and tell.

A quilt story I really want to tell. Thursday, May 28, 2015. A visit with Gwen Marston. It was a totally unexpected but it happend! My visit to Ithaca at Tompkins County Quilters was full of happy co-incidences. I was approached by Laurie Buck, a member at the guild and also a follower of this blog. With my new mantra of saying yes to whatever life brings has got me to more places than I ever imagined. Accepting to speak and teach at the guild was a start of many new friendships. Sitting at a kitchen tab...

A quilt story I really want to tell. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Lectures, Workshops and Possibilities. Back in early January I received an invite to be the speaker at MAQ 2015 retreat.

I gladly accepted the chance to meet other teachers and quilters! Visit MAQ website http:/ www.maqonline.org/. Today, I am also excited to announce ...
