The Quilt Roadies are on the road again! Seeking out new places to RV camp, quilt shops to visit, and designers to meet. Be sure to subscribe to our channel...no cost, it just gives you a heads up when we post a new video. During this trip I will also be blogging away on www.wooliemammoth.blogspot.com. Oh...and before I forget...the winners of the Crabapple Hill Root Beer patterns are Cathryn who said, "I have done coloring before and I have several of the Crabapple Hill patterns to do. I love root beer floats! and I've been eying that pattern." and barbdan who said, "I love doing Crabapple Hill patterns. I have done several large quilt size patterns. I think I should get some smaller pillow patterns. I would love to win the root beer float pattern. Root beer floats are among my favorite summer treats."

In the dictionary the word "group" has got to include quilters!  It seems that even if you live way out in Timbuktu you can still be part of a quilt group on the Internet. Being part of a quilting/stitching group takes us back in history to the foundation of quilting bees. They provide an opportunity to connect, to share and to inspire. I am grateful to the many women I quilt with (both in person & on the internet) who support me during heart ache...push me during my lazy times...inspire me to be courageous with a needle and thread and bring laughter to my life. And so today I share with you one such group out of Redding California. The Quilter's Sew-Ciety of Redding has raised the bar when it comes to group quilt challenges and you can see their previous challenges by clicking on http://www.quilterssewciety.org/challenges.html Their latest challenge on display at QuiltWorks in Bend, Oregon is called Feather Your Nest with Quilts and I know you are going to enjoy the slideshow. The quilts are as varied as the quilters themselves!
