They had for years and it consisted of people working together on projects. Quiltmakers went to the local hgh school and worked with the kids on quilts. I love this idea because there is so much to share in quiltmaking &#8211; the camaraderie, math, love of fabric, the feeling of making something that will bring someone joy, whether your own family for friend or someone you don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is all about sharing. While I write the blog for myself to keep track of my projects and progress, I have come to enjoy the comments and back and forth with readers. This has really become a venue for me to share. I like posting the tutorials. Well, I like posting the tutorials. Writing them can be a chore! I like sharing what I know and my opinions about quiltmaking.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like people stealing my content or my photos. That is the NOT FUN part of sharing. It is also a little sad when I don&#8217;t receive comments on a post or several, but I remind myself that I am writing this for me. It is a good exercise in not seeking attention.<\/p>\n<p>I think there are a lot of different ways to share. Like Weeks says above, you can organize a quilting day, but you can also write a tutorial or help a friend to make some quilted placemats. I think that if we share, even just the project we are working on Flickr, then the community is richer for your contribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weeks writes: &#8220;Share your work \u2013 volunteering to organize a quilting day to make quilts for your favorite charity, offer to give a lecture on your work at your aunt\u2019s retirement community \u2013 you needn\u2019t be famous or have written a book to share your quilts with others&#8221; I was listening to a podcast the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/modern-quilt-studio-quiltcon-homework-7\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Modern Quilt Studio QuiltCon Homework #7&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[402],"tags":[357],"class_list":["post-17769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-402","tag-thinking"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
