Warm Homespun

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,

compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant

of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been

all of these.” —George Washington Carver (1864-1943),

Botanist, Agricultural Chemist, Inventor, Educator

Greetings

As the year winds down, we reflect on 2019 and look forward to 2020.

Drumming up extra energy for countless holiday festivities, we also turn

inward, stay inside a little more, and hopefully catch an extra nap here

and there.

We found contrast throughout this issue. Our Charitable Cause paired

up a retired nurse in Oregon with impoverished women in Kenya. In

Designer Notes you’ll read about biding time in business and physical

education to blossoming in the creative arts. Jeni, in Ask Mom, reveals

how she transforms ordinary items into eye candy. Last but not least, the

homeowners of our photoshoot location balance an empty nest with a

house full of joy and friendship.

The projects in this issue offer a feast of scrappy, whimsical, imaginative,

and downright delightful quilts, mats, rugs, and wall hangings. You’ll also

find a terrific tote bag and a plump pin cushion that will make you the

envy of all.

It’s been another fun year publishing Primitive Quilts and Projects, and

making so many new friends. We have to pinch ourselves from time to

time to see if we’re just dreaming.

Happy Stitching and Happy Holidays!
