After a Long Winter
The connection to nature is a vital part of being a human on this earth. We thrive when we have access to nature and can spend time outdoors, surrounded by plants, rocks, water, and soil. In Canada, doctors can now prescribe nature access in the form of free passes to
Network in Green Leaves
When I think of the Net or the Web, what comes to mind is a cobweb. This beautiful cobweb can be seen in the greenery of the gardens of many homes. The Internet connects the computers of people around the world through telecommunications. This invisible net is stretched more accurately
We are All Connected!
This has been a fascinating prompt! I thought it would be easy and I would have it done within a few days of it’s reveal. How wrong I was! I changed my vision so many times but then realized that that was also a connection. The first idea didn’t work,
Hartelijk Welkom
Every time it is a challenge, to find a nice concept for a new theme. This time it almost went without any problem for me. That requires explanation. We have connections with people all over the world. It goes without saying that we help each other, where possible. When people are
Nexus
Karol Kusmaul Nexus is a connection or link between things, persons or events. (Merriam- Webster) When this theme was announced, I was struggling through a new-to-me technique, improvisational curved piecing. It was challenging to sew two curved pieces of fabric together and have them lie flat. When I stitched two
Community Connections
Bronwyn Cant, Lindsay Point, Victoria Living in a country town provides a community and connections at a different level than those of a city.

TURNING POINT III – Connecting to the Colour Palette
Boldly, always caring and looking to depth of colour as I seek my Connection to the palette. For me, I went straight to my stash, connecting my plans with a focus toward stepping into a new quilt, and in this case ‘Turning Point III’. It is simply a strip-pieced, hand-dyed
So many options
The prompt of CONNECTIONS gives me a lot of food for thought. Initially I was thinking of structural connections for buildings especially in Christchurch where post our major earthquakes all buildings were reinforced with cross like strengthening steel poles. These poles connecting to the ceilings or upper floors provided strength
Connections to Nature
I could have gone in many different directions with this prompt. Eventually, I decided to go with a technique that I have worked on for the last several years – my nature prints. The connection to nature is so important for humans, for our physical and mental health. Doctors in
Deb’s Connections
Connections. What a wonderful prompt. It’s a wonderful way to end my 4-year run with the Cloth in Common group. I’ve loved being part of the group, but it takes time to make a quilt, and I want to use some of that time I’ve been spending making quilts for
Connections
I received an email from Karol in 2017, proposing to become a member of Cloth in Common. Karol and I never knew each other, but we had a connection as member of SAQA. If I hadn’t been a member of SAQA, I would never have had the chance to be
Invisible Threads
Nietzsche said that “invisible threads are the strongest ties” and while Nietzsche is one of the most controversial philosophers of his time, his quote seems appropriate for this, my last post for Cloth in Common. As several members have written, we are wrapping up Round Three (Structure) with our Connections
