Even though you belong to online quilting and fabric art groups, most quilters enjoy getting together in person with a local group periodically. My daughter Beth finds these bi-weekly Friday gatherings a break in her schedule and a source of inspiration.
They share, they try different techniques, they enjoy refreshments, and they sometimes go on day […]
As the public health therapist sat with my husband and me at the dining table, going over the details of hubby’s upcoming knee replacement therapy, my daughter and granddaughter arrived home from errands.
As Beth and the therapist looked at one another, recognition dawned. What a coincidence! The therapist had recently joined Beth’s fiber arts group, […]

If you’ve been following the Fiber Explorers’ Round Robin pages (they’re making books for this session), my daughter Beth has posted more at her Meandering Threads blog, under a post, More Round Robin Pages.
It’s always fun to see what Beth is making and the pages others in the group create for her “Nature” book. Here’s […]
Food and recipes seem to accompany quilters and constitute an important part of their life, along with their quilting activities. Pioneer quilters shared recipes and served food at their quilting bees. In the evening families often joined them for supper and a social event.
Nowadays, quilters put together cook books and share recipes at their get-togethers. We […]
A friend and I were chatting about quilting today as we ate our lunches in the teachers’ room. (She’s a primary grade teacher and I’m a substitute teacher.) She mentioned that her quilting group met tonight. When I asked her about the group, she said they’d been meeting for 21 years, quilting together and sharing […]
Previously I mentioned the Round Robin my daughter’s local group was conducting. Occasionally Beth posted a photo of a Round Robin fiber art piece she was working on. The artists are displaying the finished pieces as the Round Robin Collection at their exhibit at the Artistic Roots Art Center at Campton, NH. Beth also has photos of these for […]
Fiber art and quilting exhibits need not be large events coordinated by regional, statewide, or national organizations. Quilting groups of any size can display their work and share their art with friends and neighbors in their locality.
My daughter’s group, Fiber Explorers, consisting of six friends who work in diverse styles, will exhibit their work throughout […]
Another series of quilt blogs will revolve around quilting and life, lessons learned, inspirations gained…something I’ll call The Quilting Spirit.
I enjoy learning where quilters get their ideas, what they’ve learned from quilting and patchwork, how it’s connected them with other quilters. Is there a common thread that runs through quilters of the ages, whether it’s […]
Quilters who haven’t participated in a Round Robin quilt exchange, and even those who have, like to see the before and after photos of these projects. My daughter and other members of her small art quilting group recently completed their quilt hangings.
It was interesting to see what had happened to my daughter’s after the five […]
