Color Me Grateful

As we travel doing presentations and block drives for The 70273 Project the past four weeks, The Engineer and I have seen 3 ocean views , , ,

I see the moon, and the moon over Daytona Beach Shores seize(s) me

Three oceans – the same because they’re all awesomely impressive bodies of water, each different in its own way. That’s the way I like oceans, and that’s the way I like people – the same because we’re humans, delightfully unique in our own individual ways. On whatever path we met – writing, stitching, through The 70273 Project; whether we met in school or through other friends or as a result of an unanticipated coincidence, on this US Thanksgiving Day – and on any ordinary day, for that matter – I am tickled and thankful to have you in my life. Grateful for all the goodness, kindness, and compassion you continue to  spill into the world.

Choose one . . . or both:
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thursday.

The 70273 Project SHELF-ish Pursuits Book Club November 2018 Selection

L to R: The Engineer (Andy), Jeanne, Shirley, Wes, and Nealy

I met Shirley and Wes at the International Quilt Festival in November 2017, and we’ve been friends ever since. Seein’ as how today is Veterans Day and seein’ as how Wes is a US veteran and seein’ as how the ink is barely dry on their new book about Wes’ life during World War II (and beyond), I thought their new book – Wesselhoeft: Traded to the Enemy – would be a fine way to start our 70273 SHELF-ish Pursuit Book Club back up.

Wes’s story is a compelling one, so go get yourself a copy and get to reading. I’ve got my copy, and I’m planning to read it next week. We’ll reconvene at a yet-to-be-announced day in December to discuss the book when Shirley and hopefully Wes and who knows – maybe even Nealy (Wes’ seeing eye dog), too –  have agreed to be part of our discussion, so be sure to make notes and jot down questions as you read. Details about the discussion to follow in a blog post and in The 70273 Project Campfire on Facebook, where we gather around a digital campfire, sitting on digital logs, devouring digital s’mores.

Nealy. I love him. And I don’t know about you, but it kinda’ looks to me like he might like me a little bit, too.

A great big Thank you to Stephanie Brown Bowen for starting and naming The 70273 Project SHELFish Pursuit Book Club and for getting us going.  I hope she’ll be able to join us every now ‘n then.

The Equity, Access, and Inclusion Conference at the University of Maine

I met Sara Henry, Director of Student Accessibility Services and Conference Organizer at the University of Maine,  at the AHEAD Conference held in Albuquerque, New Mexico in July 2018 when she stopped by The 70273 Project booth to make a block. When she invited me to be a presenter and host a 70273 Project Block Drive as part of the conference that’s a World Usability Day event, I was delighted and honored to respond with a hearty “Yes.”

The conference is from 9 am to 4 pm and offers an amazing variety of speakers and useable information. And there’s more: the conference is open to the public! Registration is quick, easy, and can be tended to here. Go here for a schedule, map, and other information.

I recently interviewed Sara Henry as part of growing The 70273 Project Podcast. Give a listen here or watch it on The 70273 Project You Tube Channel for the visual version. Note: Bear with me as I learn how to do this, and remember, we embrace imperfections.

 

 

We’ve fallen in love with Maine
as we make our way to Orono and the University of Maine campus.

We’ve lingered in two bookstores, and I declare, y’all, they have revived me. The scenery and the bookstores – oh my goodness – the stories are popping up everywhere.

Oh, and when The Engineer spied the sign for the quilt store, we stopped
and left some cards for The 70273 Project
and shopped – you know I shopped a little.

Come to the conference if you can. And be sure to get up in my face and say Hey.

Interview: Julie Sefton

Julie Sefton’s book

Julie Sefton and I met and became friends through one of my favorite blogs written by one of my favorite people: Jude Hill. (Jude has been very supportive of The 70273 Project since its inception. Thank you, Jude.) As sometimes happens, our families took us in different directions, and then through the magic of Margaret Andrews, Julie and I reconnected. Julie is not only a remarkable woman and quilter, she has a son with a disability and is coordinating The 70273 Project Special Exhibit for the upcoming Davies Manor 22nd Annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show.

Besides talking about her personal quilting preferences and journey (I coined the phrase “bioquiltography” a decade or so ago. Once had a blog by that name, too.), Julie tells us more about The Davies Manor Quilt Show coming up this weekend and The 70273 Project Special Exhibit that will be there. If you live in the vicinity of Memphis or more specifically Bartlett, Tennessee and can go lend a hand at The 70273 Project exhibit, telling folks about the project, putting info in their hands, helping them make blocks and make sure they complete a Provenance Form, that would be fantastic! Let me know and I’ll pass your info along to Julie who will join me in being oh so grateful.

Here are the particulars:
Who: Davies Manor’s Association 22nd Annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show
What: An annual quilt show that this year includes a Special Exhibit of The 70273 Project quilts
When: Friday, 11/2/2018; Saturday, 11/3/2018; and Sunday, 11/4/2018 from 10 am to 4 pm
Where: Located just off exit 20 of I-40 with entrances at 9336 Davies Plantation Road and 3570 Daviesshire Drive, Bartlett, TN
How: For more information, visit Davies Manor Plantation Facebook page and the Davies Manor web site 
How much: $5.00 for one day or $8.00 for all 3 days

A note before we begin: we experienced technical difficulties with Julie’s interview . . . we simply could not convince the microphone on her computer to play nicely. We asked, we cajoled, we pleaded and nothing worked. So eventually I just asked Julie to sit as close to the microphone as she could and talk as loudly as possible because we’re The 70273 Project Tribe, which means that we find the beauty in the imperfect, keep going forward no matter what, and know that the flip side is always joy. So turn your volume up as far as it will go and huddle up with your computer cause I think you’ll find what Julie has to say as interesting as I do.

Thank you, Julie, for being such a valuable member of The 70273 Project. Thank you, Margaret Andrews, for not only bringing us back together, but for finishing so many quilts that will be on display at Davies Manor. And thank you Nancy who’s in charge of the Davies Manor Quilt Show for taking such good care of The 70273 Project.

Here’s where you can find more of Julie. Be sure you give yourself plenty of time to read and look!

Would you be willing to let me interview you for The 70273 Project podcast? Send me a note via Facebook or email. or Instagram. I’m posting them as blog posts right now while I get an inventory and can handle it like an official podcast, posting the interviews in all the usual podcast lineups. Soon, y’all, soon.

And one more thing: If you’re anywhere near the Florida Atlantic University campus in Boca Raton, Florida, come to the library on Tuesday, 10/30/18  to say Hey and make a block. We’ll be there all day, from 8 am to 5 pm as part of Disabilities Awareness Month. Thank you, Michell Shaw, Director of Student Accessibility Services!

The Block Count Grows Again!

The Engineer fetches the mail

If you visit Jeanne’s Time Journal page, you’ll see that I’ve been on the road a good bit lately, and while I still manage to get a lot done, I haven’t been here to check-in blocks. I’m delighted to tell you that Peggy Thomas has generously offered to take over The 70273 Project record keeping! Never one to let moss grow under her feet, Peggy has already enlisted the help of Nancy Carroll, Lori Grillo, and Gladys Loewen who are busy entering information into a . . . spreadsheet . . . called The Missus.

Note: Spreadsheets shut me down and stomp me flat – and I mean just the word “spreadsheets”. I can’t even say it out of my mouth without stuttering and stammering. So Peggy and Nancy and Lori and Gladys have agreed to use “Landscape Oriented Tables” or “LOTs” when talking to me.

Anyway, that’s all happening in the background, and we’re figuring out new systems for handing off and recording and sharing and all such as that. For now, here are the newly-received items I’ve checked in (so far):

QUILT TOPS pieced by
Ellen Binsfeld
Carliss Paige
Edna Jamandre
Joyce Baumgarten
Cale Koltes

QUILTS quilted and finished by
Mary Ellen Swanson
Alejandrina Pattin
Erin & Serena Bross
Carlyn Clark
Hayling Island Piecemakers
Teddy Pruett
Sew and Sewcial Group
Wittering Quilters
Bonnie Larrison Anderson

BLOCKS from
Anonymous
Bonnie Larrison Anderson
Amy and the GT Quilters

Just look at that graph at the bottom of the page grow towards the sun as this brings our block count to 56,119!

We have bundles of blocks ready to be sent out to volunteers who will piece and quilt or just piece them, and we have quilt tops ready to go to volunteers who will quilt and finish them. If you’re willing to receive bundles and/or tops, please let me know which you prefer and how many you want. As always, I thank you with my whole heart for being part of The 70273 Project Tribe.

And of course we still need blocks/commemorations, so tell everybody you know.

I know many of you are working on blocks and tops and quilts, and while I don’t want to rush you, I sure would appreciate it if you could finish them and have them to me by our third anniversary: 14 Feb 19. If you could get them to me by 01 Feb 19, that would be even better as Peggy and I will have time to check them in.

Besides a new Recordkeeping Group, there’s much that’s new and exciting and coming up in The 70273 Project, so stay tuned.

A Block Count Update

72 white quilt blocks, each embellished with a pair of red X's

Blocks made by Alida Palmisano

What you’ve all been waiting for (for far too long). There are so many reasons it’s taken me this long to update the block count, but I’d rather list the Makers, wouldn’t you? This is only a partial update, mind you. There will be another update next week. And there are still many blocks and quilts coming from all over the world. The 70273 Project has exploded to the point that I no longer add blocks to the count until the blocks or quilts are in my hands. I just don’t have the brain bandwidth to keep up with what’s here, what’s not, what’s been counted, what hasn’t.

This week’s Honor Roll of Makers includes:

Jackie Reichardt (FL, US) for her daughter Katerina Lynn Reichardt
Kathy Seelbach (NV, US)  for Rosemary Kalitzki, her mother and a Holocaust survivor
Peggy Hicks (TX, US)
Anonymous
Jeanette Parker (UT, US)
Diane Aronson (MN, US) for the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust Shoah
Virginia Waymire (CA, US)
Jenelll Henning (OK, US) for Thomas Henning, Cevin Forrester, and Austin Blackwell
Jane Gehring (TX, US) for all who suffered at the hands of the Nazis
Jane Melon (MN, US)
Alida Palmisano (MD, US)
Shellie Specter (FL, US)
Ivy Jensen (TX, US)
Jo Ann Luco (TX, US)
Rita Joseck (TX, US)
Yvonne Wilson (TX, US)
Vian Tompkins (MO, US)
Cheryl Cramer (WA, US)
Judy J. Cobb (WA, US) for The Lintz Family from Prussia to Philadelphia, PA
Susan Carpenter (WA, US) for Helen Engelmann, Huberta Terwilleger, and Polly Carpenter
Marylu Cunning (Wa, US) for Jeremy Ray Cunning and Michael Witt

Thanks to these good, compassionate people, our new block count is:

55,863!

And remember: there are more waiting to be checked in next week, so subscribe or remember to drop by. Are you going to the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX this year? Would you like to meet up and/or deliver blocks and quilts to me? Email me and let’s make a plan.

Quilts Exhibited Around the World

SCOTLAND / CREATIVE WHITHORN
WHITHORN PRIORY
THROUGH 12 AUGUST 2018

If you’re in the vicinity of Scotland, find your way to Whithorn where there’s quite a festival happening this weekend that you won’t want to miss. (And if you can’t get there, tell your friends and family who can get there to go and send pictures, or as we say around here “Write when you get work.”) It’s called Creative Whithorn, and if you make your way to the Priory, you’ll be treated to this beautiful site, thanks to Rebecca Davison who took quilts from Rochester, U.K. especially for this exhibit and to  Rev. Alex Currie and his wife Kirsty for allowing The 70273 Project to be shown in the beautiful and picturesque Whithorn Priory.

When a group of Whithorn women heard about The 70273 Project coming to the Priory, they got busy and made this quilt – the only quilt in the exhibit made in Scotland.

Don’t they look amazing? Don’t you wish you were there to see them with your own two eyes? I know I do. And next year we will be!

I’ve already spoken with Rebecca and Fran (the amazing Organizer of Creative Whithorn), and we all agree that next year The 70273 Project will return for another exhibit . . . and in 2019 all the quilts on display will have been made in Scotland! Isn’t that exciting? We’re going to need a lot of help, so do let Fran or Rebecca or me know if you’re interested in making blocks, piecing and quilting, organizing your group (think church, senior centers, schools, etc.) to make a quilt. There will be a sign-up form at the Priory this weekend, and we welcome your helping hands. I couldn’t make it to Scotland this year on account of I’m waiting on another set of grand baby cheeks to plant my lips on, but just as soon as I have the dates for Creative Whithorn 2019, I start looking for tickets. I will be there next year for sure, and I hope you will be, too.

Back to this year’s festival . . . Should you need a little help finding the Priory, follow Rebecca’s photo map . . .

Head through the main door of the Priory where you’ll find the 70273 Project.

Last weekend, the Whithorn Trust announced that visitors from Switzerland, Chile, Spain, Germany, France, and all over the U.K. went to see the exhibit, and they are expecting even more visitors this weekend. If you can get there, go see the quilts and volunteer to help us have an all-Scotland exhibit next year. If you can’t get there, leave a comment or find us on the Facebook page or in the Facebook group or email me (see envelope icon in upper righthand corner of this page) and let us know how you will help us. Look forward to making my first trip to Scotland next year.

Another round of gratitude for Rebecca and her partner, Bob for having the idea and making it happen; for Lucy in Rochester who did more than just send the quilts; to Fran, the Creative Whithorn organizer who, though busy this week, is already thinking and planning for next year’s festival and exhibit of The 70273 Project Scotland quilts; and to Alex Currie and his wife, Kirsty for saying “yes” when asked if the exhibit could be held in the Priory; and to all the good folks who will make blocks this weekend and volunteer to get involved and help with The 70273 Project Special Exhibit in Scotland next year.  it takes a village, y’all.

The Honor Roll of Rochester UK Quilts and a Block Count Update

the front of Rochester Cathedral

 

Before the ink dried on the idea called The 70273 Project, Lucy Horner (a friend on Instagram at that time) offered to collect blocks for The 70273 Project at her shop. Little did she know that 2 years later, she would have the proverbial tiger by the tail. Lucy’s infectious enthusiasm coupled with the good hearts and hands of countless people in the Rochester area made for an explosion of interest in commemorating those we honor. And now, at last, these are the quilts created and exhibited in Rochester Cathedral:

Total number of lives commemorated at Rochester Cathedral:

14,024

which brings our block count total to:

55,108

I’m not kidding, y’all. Scroll on down to the bottom of the page and watch that graph shoot up towards the finish line.

bags and boxes of mail

And there are many more blocks and quilts waiting for me to stay home long enough to check them in, so that number will grow. There are some surprises coming up in the newsletter and on the blog, so you might want to subscribe to both. Just sayin’.

Thank you to all who have stitched, hosted, shared, pieced, quilted, donated, and contributed in a host of other ways to bring us to this point.
