Later today I will be in Plains Georgia, and have a chance to visit\nwith Pres Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. After learning more about the work that\nthe Carter Center does as a nonpartisan organization, working for peace and\neradication of disease around the world, I am very honored to have been invited\nto this event. (Due to eQuilter&#8217;s charity program.) The Carter Center also\nengages in conflict resolution in war zones, and monitoring elections in\nemerging democracies. They work to end violence against women through\neducation. The dedication of the staff is an absolute inspiration. <br><br>\nYou may have heard about our &#8216;Bomb Cyclone&#8217; last week. Our giant blizzard did\nnot hit quite as hard in Boulder, but it paralyzed the Denver airport and much\nof Colorado. Yes we had a one-day hiccup in processing and shipping orders, but\nwe are back on track now! Getting to the airport the next morning was an\nadventure. My flight was delayed 2.5 hours, but our son also had a flight that\nday and was delayed 10 hours and ended up at the wrong airport. (He is running\na piano sale and music fundraiser event at Seton Hall University in NJ this\nweekend.) Such are the joys of travel. <br><br>\nFor those of you coming to the Spring Quilt Festival in Chicago in a couple\nweeks, please be sure to look for our &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/search?p_filter_keyword=RUMDL&amp;p_search_type=all&amp;p_func=live&amp;fn=nl_20190316193617\">Love\nYour Mother<\/a>&#8221; quilt exhibit. I will be in the exhibit much of the day\non Saturday, and several of the artists are coming also. The exhibit has\nalready been seen in Houston and Mexico City, and we are negotiating future\nvenues at this time. Hope to see you there! <br><br>\nThey say everybody&#8217;s Irish on St Paddy&#8217;s Day, but I really do have an Irish\nbranch in my family tree. I&#8217;ve been doing more research on our genealogy\nlately, tracing back Scottish, Swedish, English, Irish, German and French\nbranches. I&#8217;ve been as far back as the 1400s on a couple branches. I am\ncontinuing the genealogy work my mother started. Like quilting, it is\naddictive! <br><br>\nIn case you are not aware, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/search?p_filter_keyword=genealogy&amp;fn=nl_20190316193617\">we\nhave a couple Family Tree panels<\/a><\/strong> that make a great starting point for\nyour own genealogy projects! <br><br>\nThanks for helping us to celebrate our 20th Anniversary over the last week. <br><br>\nsharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230; <br>\nLuana and Paul <br><br><\/p>\n<strong>Share Post:<\/strong><br><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5215&#038;t=Happy%20Saint%20Patrick%E2%80%99s%20Day&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5215&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F03%2FKAPCTXBL_MD.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Happy%20Saint%20Patrick%E2%80%99s%20Day\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5215&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox\" data-provider=\"pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5215&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F03%2FKAPCTXBL_MD.jpg&#038;description=Happy%20Saint%20Patrick%E2%80%99s%20Day\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinterest\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/pinterest.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5215&#038;title=Happy%20Saint%20Patrick%E2%80%99s%20Day\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I am writing to you from Atlanta, where I am attending a conference at the Carter Center.
