And envelope us in their soft Quietness.
Thanks for comfort and warmth.

In February of 2018, not knowing exactly what to expect, I attended RootsTech for the first time. What I learned is that RootsTech has something for everyone, from the most beginner of beginners to professional DNA genealogists. If you are interested in your own family story, come to RootsTech! RootsTech offers over 300 classes, amazing keynote speakers, an Expo Hall packed with all sorts of vendors, and evening cultural events.
After an enjoyable experience in 2018, I returned in 2019, and even got my husband, John, to come one of the days to hear Saroo Brierley give a keynote address.
Speaking of keynote addresses, this week RootsTech just announced that one of the speakers for 2020 will be David Hume Kennerly, a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer. I can't wait to hear his story!
RootsTech 2020 will celebrate its 10th anniversary, and is bound to be the best one yet! I have been delighted to be accepted as an official RootsTech ambassador. One of the perks is that I received a c…

Quaint Quality; All Quilts are.... Quite the perfect letter; Quilt, Quilting, Quilt-fabrics, Quilting-Bees.... I love everything Quilt, but I guess you already know that....
ReplyDeleteMy next favorite word with a Q is Quiet. Love that just as much. Quilting in Quietness is my perfect part of the day.
And you make such lovely quilts, too!
DeleteI love the quilt. Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a gift for my son and his bride when they were married almost 3 years ago. Time flies!
DeleteI have discovered that a quilt is a gift that comes with tremendous love. When I was pregnant with the oldest, I took a quilting class and made a baby quilt by hand. I can't imagine anything but love pushing a woman forward in the daunting task of making a bed-sized quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou hand-sewed the baby quilt? That is impressive! I "cheat" and use a sewing machine. :-)
DeleteNo such thing as cheating when using the sewingmachine. It's just as difficult, if not more difficult. You made a wonderful quilt and I hope your son and daughter-in-law love it still as much. I know I do!
DeleteWow! You made that? I find quilting amazing. I just cant wrap my head around it! Its so impressive to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. I'm definitely still learning, though.
DeleteThat is really a pretty quilt! I don't quilt but I do admire then from afar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a frequent quilter, but I do enjoy trying every so (or "sew") often! :-)
Deleteyow! (to me) the combination of patience and concentration that must be necessary to create something like that! ayiiee!
ReplyDeleteI've learned to stop for the day once I get tired, because otherwise I spend more time seam-ripping than sewing!
DeleteMy mom has some beautiful, intricate quilts and quilt tops that were never quilted that were done by my grandmother and my great aunt. My favorite is called, I think Grandmother's Flower Garden. Most of the fabric used was from feed sacks. Quilts are such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I think quilts are even better when they are made by loved ones.
