It has been a season of Thanks, indeed! <br /><br />Had a chance to visit with the Matriarchs of our family, my <a href="https://www.quiltscapesqs.com/search?q=Aunt+Marjory" target="_blank">Aunt Marjory</a> and my dear Mother-in-law, both of whom are 91 years young! Delightful women who, despite some physical challenges, have minds that are still very active, engaging, and interested in every detail of our lives. I am always interested in the stories they each have to tell.<div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaPLkFUOTd9ah72xdnWhDvJkq4mpAZZWIPiQuP4hq5HvcK09coweeGkESf-7soUeB2qDepqFQESPpoNRMhfuxDaAdPEA5b_Ksz_GCDJCNjCuJo97tMSawr2k3kawtLJl4CuRUlakJsUtstCgOeFHKdIVBItvOY6hX1qH5zaSO2UiyzDbcANt0wwansw38/s3146/20231117_161939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3146" data-original-width="2265" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaPLkFUOTd9ah72xdnWhDvJkq4mpAZZWIPiQuP4hq5HvcK09coweeGkESf-7soUeB2qDepqFQESPpoNRMhfuxDaAdPEA5b_Ksz_GCDJCNjCuJo97tMSawr2k3kawtLJl4CuRUlakJsUtstCgOeFHKdIVBItvOY6hX1qH5zaSO2UiyzDbcANt0wwansw38/w288-h400/20231117_161939.jpg" width="288" /></a></div><br /></div><div>We have recently added two new grandbabies to our clan, and are grateful for all of these delightful little grandchildren who bring such joy to our lives!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2s7YxT2FhDk7umPFEEjlrTvr15UcHur5zV_-E_e2F-Gpl1sT-o4ubL-G7nsYdoQ79zaprCiiHf6VQQd1gCAJSM_yRv58ZYo3bgfCHYjMbi6_XGrD18OtdqUJEGQEfkuuiWT5qu4n3fYayDntUJbkzJVjgmZY8v-zDCiIgt3ZKNozOWmGCt0wQpstWR2s/s3968/20231016_141321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1832" data-original-width="3968" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2s7YxT2FhDk7umPFEEjlrTvr15UcHur5zV_-E_e2F-Gpl1sT-o4ubL-G7nsYdoQ79zaprCiiHf6VQQd1gCAJSM_yRv58ZYo3bgfCHYjMbi6_XGrD18OtdqUJEGQEfkuuiWT5qu4n3fYayDntUJbkzJVjgmZY8v-zDCiIgt3ZKNozOWmGCt0wQpstWR2s/w400-h185/20231016_141321.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTGAfnHIg5BibSubBfodOvC_Wo9Q-IV4bYVFJjr_81VBFJqtzd0aD1VeBF4VdN6TSOc3bWwExpdZZSf1gnefVHJfdtu1Vuw5Vw0gUogro8eUhHQwXA0Zg5CbziPzzBk6aEwdOhc6AJIxge1WyDCo-PaUVXcmj3_U1YcgzZ-4T-lfKpdz3deofRE_C3W4/s4000/20230924_162539.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTGAfnHIg5BibSubBfodOvC_Wo9Q-IV4bYVFJjr_81VBFJqtzd0aD1VeBF4VdN6TSOc3bWwExpdZZSf1gnefVHJfdtu1Vuw5Vw0gUogro8eUhHQwXA0Zg5CbziPzzBk6aEwdOhc6AJIxge1WyDCo-PaUVXcmj3_U1YcgzZ-4T-lfKpdz3deofRE_C3W4/w300-h400/20230924_162539.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div>And, as I reflect on the past year of traveling and teaching, I am consistently struck by the sense of camaraderie among quilters. No matter where you go in the world, you can always find a quilty friend! I feel thankful for those opportunities to gain new friends, learn new tips and techniques, and share our creativity together. </div><div><br /></div><div>At Quilt Market last month, I connected with several people I've known or have met or even just corresponded with over the years, and I also made lots of new friends. I was so excited to meet up with Amelia Johanson, acquisitions editor and Debra Kaunitz, account manager of Fox Chapel/Landauer Publishing. And it was a thrill to see a BLAD ("Book Layout and Design") and hold it in my hands! I may or may not have cried like a baby when I saw it on their shelf! The BLAD is a pre-publication example of the book with about 8 pages, used for sales. </div><div><br /></div><div>The publication date for the book is February 6th, and will begin shipping in January!

That was a fun way to store it, but later on, I realized that when you turn it over and pull the strip from the center, it comes out straight! Wow, I was amazed! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">How many times have you started to add the binding to a quilt - especially a large quilt - and because the binding has been stored by rolling it into a circle, it pulls off in a corkscrew and you have to unroll the entire 450 or so inches of binding down the hall, through the house and down the stairs? I exaggerate.... a little! I know you know what I mean.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJvsR0jRVJZW_VQphz9s776GbhWfr03FafL7P0itGF8SOK4p_Ku6EtBtKpPjCvZnIwzwK4V--xfG4Mes0bch2DH977c1fV6MSC-AP-gOfwGqeOEFDf__VRotFCKkStSERaw7a_ErxqxbjDXtGey5EdQoxdFJnLfArtw9XfBP5nkh-zKTGoyFGdgRCX/s4000/20230330_183509.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJvsR0jRVJZW_VQphz9s776GbhWfr03FafL7P0itGF8SOK4p_Ku6EtBtKpPjCvZnIwzwK4V--xfG4Mes0bch2DH977c1fV6MSC-AP-gOfwGqeOEFDf__VRotFCKkStSERaw7a_ErxqxbjDXtGey5EdQoxdFJnLfArtw9XfBP5nkh-zKTGoyFGdgRCX/w480-h640/20230330_183509.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This trick of "pre-twisting" will fix that!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxObkUSi_NEbazNZBQd3qZh4PWCzqVaTe8ON4ddkOc5ReN6Rtcqz7M8wipB2givZ05y7gJvHyHduoxWSrmGumYkauIqgObu8cu9spYQRvYY3Vy3n--kGclBqnBB8vZmFY-whaIGEXBW1uTY0BuHq7q57O1o8CDHmRvCZbywnrGNiwjwadvbBfY2zTg/s4000/20230330_183651.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxObkUSi_NEbazNZBQd3qZh4PWCzqVaTe8ON4ddkOc5ReN6Rtcqz7M8wipB2givZ05y7gJvHyHduoxWSrmGumYkauIqgObu8cu9spYQRvYY3Vy3n--kGclBqnBB8vZmFY-whaIGEXBW1uTY0BuHq7q57O1o8CDHmRvCZbywnrGNiwjwadvbBfY2zTg/w480-h640/20230330_183651.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There are some super-cute binding storage gismos out there, but the binding is usually wrapped around these in a circular fashion as well, causing the same issues.
