We tend to think the world is huge...when in fact it is small...so small. I am reminded of that old game the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. You know, it was based on the game 6 degrees of Separation which says that any 2 people are only 6 or fewer acquaintance links apart. I know you are wondering what the heck is she talking about and what does this have to do with quilting, LOL.

Well, last Sunday I was talking a class at Acorns & Threads a cross stitch shop in Portland. It was a general educational class on cross stitch. You are wondering what this has to do with quilting? Sitting next to me was a classmate named JoJo and as we talked it, turned out she and her husband had watched us on Quilt Roadies because she is a quilter also. It is always so fun to meet those who follow along with us on our journey in life. Next, she brings out a pillow she recently finished and it is gorgeous!

The workmanship was exquisite! Even though we were there for some cross stitch instruction, everyone had to take a moment to enjoy the beauty. When I asked her where she learned the techniques...she said from Ann Myhre on The Quilt Show! Yep, in the Quilting/Stitching world the game 6 Degrees of Separation might only be 3 degrees of Separation!!

Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies.

yes, the bird was the main focus but Ann Myhre designs these to expose those who go along with her projects to many different types of needlework all of which can be used to enhance basic quilts or anything else for that matter. She does this "unplugged" meaning by hand but I have hand problems and it is challenging to do these by machine. Lots of learning goes on for all.

She probably expected the bird to be the focus but there is so much else going on! It's a work of art ... And lots of skill and creativity.
