Lots to see here: Quilts. Photography. Art. Writing.

• Modern traditionalism from QuiltCon.
• Children’s book illustrator Lisa Goldberg describes her process and her journey.
• Anybody know anything about an artist by the name of L. Perea? Oh! Answer found.
• The potato chip block for scrap quilts.
• The publication story of Susan Shapiro’s first memoir, 20 years ago.
• The work that went into getting photographs of two small planes flying in front of the total eclipse.
• A selection of photos from the World Press Photo Contest.
• Fiction writers: how do you get your character to change?
• Some quilts pieced out of orphan blocks. (What are orphan blocks? They are quilt blocks that for one reason or another didn’t become part of a quilt. Sometimes the maker made more blocks than needed, or decided to redesign a quilt-in-progress.)
• The rarest trees in the world.
• These memoirs sound fascinating.
• I love Shimunia’s vivid embroideries.
