		<description><![CDATA[When I get to thinking that I haven&#8217;t &#8220;done much,&#8221; I only have to look at my own list of articles and books to know that is not true. Just in the last year, I have done research for &#8220;for-print&#8221; articles (in The Quilter magazine) on the following topics: 1) &#8220;The Lobster Claw Quilt&#8221; 2) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always associated the color &#8220;Green&#8221; with Ireland, land of my forebears. Here is an old photo of me, wearing a green outfit, during my high school years (1960s). I love the idea of Irish themed quilts and so, I decided that you might like to know about a new magazine on the subject! [...]]]></description>

She reports having enjoyed my article in The Quilter, about the topic of cheater cloth, in the March edition.

The experience has encouraged me to think about the field of textiles, its lengthy history, and how much there is to know about them. In my lifetime, I will never run out of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I uploaded an article about Sarah Josepha Hale, an outstanding woman who was born in Newport, New Hampshire. She distinguished herself as an &#8220;editress&#8221; for many years, after having been widowed at a very young age, and left with five children to raise. Her story is as compelling today as ever, and it [...]]]></description>

Milford is a relatively small New England town, so I had no fear that the statue would be hard to find. Not seeing it in the little park within the [...]]]></description>

Today, Jim scanned some of the slides we have of pillows, purses, and patchwork, and of Hafiza herself, one wearing her burqa, and [...]]]></description>

You see, I have been &#8220;there&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;there&#8221; being teaching in public, and I can agree with its drawbacks, and the need for an alternative. For example, when I taught classes for our local community education [...]]]></description>
