The month of September has come to a close, and here's a cornucopia post filled with links to the things I read or watched or listened to. Hopefully we all got to splash around in some nice cool water at some point to celebrate the end of a very hot summer.

I'm really looking forward to the MQG Sessions happening in a couple weeks. I think you can still sign up if you're a MQG member.
'"'"'"'"'"'"'"''''""""""""''''''
A very helpful, how to do a French Knot video.
'"'"'"'"'"'"'"''''""""""""''''''
I saw that SAQA is having an exhibit entitled StitchPunk, and the definitions of work requested aren't necessarily of what I expected, but I'm intrigued.

Order your own sew-in personalized woven labels from Wunderlabel. You can choose from so many colors and fonts, and symbols. Spoiler, I chose to put an eye on mine. More on this next month when they arrive. David Owen Hastings suggested this idea, to stitch in a label in your quilt binding.

Stitch Meditation a creative mindful practice developed by Liz Kettle looks very interesting. She has a short video explaining her method.
'"'"'"'"'"'"'"''''""""""""''''''
The Quilt Alliance held a great online event Quilters Take A Moment (instead of the in-person Quilters Take Manhattan event)'. There were several terrific lectures, including one from Tula Pink. Also a fund raiser for Quilt Alliance.

You can still sign up for and receive the pattern for a really pretty quilt-a-long with Christina Cameli, Harmony & Light. It includes video lessons as well which is a nice touch. Two of the BAM members were working on this at the Super Sew Day and I thought that it was really pretty pattern.

Lizzo playing James Madison's crystal flute in the Library of Congress, not to be missed just for the joy of it all, did you even know that we had a Flute Vault?? So very cool. I swear I would watch an entire show of Lizzo going around the world playing historic instruments.
Onto some politics stuff:
A great excerpt from Sarah Kendzior’s new book, “They Knew”
'"'"'"'"'"'"'"''''""""""""''''''
A wonderfully clear lecture by constitutional scholar Norm Ornstein. Really worth the tie to listen to it or watch.
'"'"'"'"'"'"'"''''""""""""''''''
And the AMACAD (American Academy of Arts & Sciences) report that Norm Ornstein references, Our Common Purpose - Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century. I haven't read through all of it, but so far what I've read is quite good.
