Here to offer you even more inspiration, is a quilter from Texas who lost her sight years ago and decided she didn't want to just sit around the house and sulk. After watching this, you'll find it tough to come up an excuse for not finishing that quilt.

This episode is so “meaty” that we had to break it into two parts! You’ll want to be on hand for both as quiltmaker, teacher, author, fabric designer, musician, and our own TQS co-host Ricky Tims walks you through the complete process for making your own, unique Rhapsody-style quilt.
In addition to the step-by-step process, Ricky will have lots of fantastic quilts on hand to inspire you. It’s almost like having him come to your sewing room for private lessons…and you can replay each step as many times as you wish.

At Road to California recently, a little trinket caught our eye. It was a shiny bracelet with beautiful natural stones. (Looking at the design you could see why it might appeal.) But for goodness sake, it was a quilt show, not a place to buy jewelry.
What is the craziest thing you've ever bought at a quilt show, that had nothing to do with quilting?

I was especially struck by the native people - AND - it just goes to prove a point that red is not only a neutral but a very good color for protection from the animals -

We were supposed to be out of the park by a certain time, but it was always-- "Just one more picture...????"

As we made our way through Africa from one destination to another we saw vendors of all kinds lining the highway, from potatoes to charcoal it was all there - imagine our surprise when we rapidly zipped by a kindred spirit!

Rumor has it that Ricky actually got kissed by his fine new friend........

The Alliance of American Quilts Quilters' S.O.S.--Save our Stories programs records the history of quilters and their quilts through interviews. It is a great place of find inspiration and to learn about the quilting tradition. (You might remember they interviewed Ricky's Dad.)
Once in a while a story just strikes you and you have to share it. This is one of those stories. It is about Louise Carter of Abbot, Maine. Louise is 100 years old and continues to quilt, although she has yet to try a rotary cutter. Here is just a tidbit of her story from the AAQ website, click here to read more and to find out more about the program.
This is Jeanne Wright (JW). Today's date is August 22, 2010. It's 10:10 in the morning and I'm interviewing Mrs. Louise Carter (LC) at her home in Abbot, Maine for the Alliance for American Quilts, 'Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories' project. Mrs. Carter has let us come into her home and talk with her this morning about quilting. [Mrs. Carter is joined by a friend of hers Pat Huckins (PH). Mrs. Carter is quite hard of hearing and Pat will help us from time to time. For questions which Mrs. Carter did not hear and had to be repeated to her, I will not note the repetition. Mrs. Carter turned 100 years old this year and is somewhat, and I'll emphasize, only somewhat, disabled in that she has only one arm! You will see that having only one arm is not much of an impediment to her life.]
