		<description><![CDATA[William Volckening of Portland, Oregon, &#8220;Bill&#8221; to his friends, is very fond of quilts. In particular, he favors an intricate quilt pattern known most often as &#8220;New York Beauty&#8221; or &#8220;Rocky Mountain Road.&#8221; The pattern is not appropriate for beginners, as he points out.

The first one is called, &#8220;I&#8217;ve Got Lips.&#8221; On it she features the words, &#8220;Stiff Upper Lip,&#8221; &#8220;Lip Service,&#8221; &#8220;Read My Lips,&#8221; &#8220;My Lips are Sealed,&#8221; Loose Lips [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since it is autumn, it seems very fitting to discuss cornucopias and their symbolic meaning. The 16th century word is derived from Latin: &#8220;cornus copiae,&#8221; a term that designated a mythical horn that could provide anything desired. Traditionally, this horn was filled with fruit but could also include flowers or corn, according to the Oxford [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whig&#8217;s Defeat seems to be a curious name for a quilt block. The name &#8220;Whig&#8221; dates to revolutionary war times when anyone with radical ideas earned that title. The Whig party attracted some notable politicians and had two elected U.S. presidents, and two vice-presidents who came to the office of president through the back door. [...]]]></description>
