The word moot is an archaic term meaning "argue, debate, discuss." In early English history, a moot was a meeting to discuss local affairs. Moot comes from the Old English gemot, meaning "meeting."

Quilting
I am a quilter although I am developing a new passion for knitting after reading Chicks with Sticks. This weekend is the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I don't know if I am going to go ...I have so many projects to finish already... I cannot imagine visiting the festival and not acquiring MORE new projects to complete...so many books, quilts, so much yarn--so little time.
I was so interested in Cynthia Leitich Smith's interview with Adrienne Yorinks and Jeanette Larson on Quilt of States: Piecing Together America. Cynthia's interview are ALWAYS a great read if you enjoy (as I do) hearing the author's voice.

Camille,
do you know Lesa Cline-Ransome's "Quilt Counting"? Lovely picture book, illustrated by her husband, James Ransome. When I was a teenager, I did a little quilting & enjoyed it.
I thought I knew ALL the quilting books. I will have to look that one up!
