In some areas, rivers and streams still bear the original New England names, and subtle reminders of early Connecticut's culture and values are still to be found.

Quilters learn something new each month and improve their skills with this joyful tribute to the seasons. Twenty-four projects-two for each month of the year-introduce a variety of techniques, one step at a time. Quilters begin with a simple project that teaches a new technique, and then build their proficiency with a larger quilt project. These projects include wall hangings, table runners, door hangers, mantel toppers, pillows, and pillowcases. Quilt the Seasons teaches piecing, appliqué, trapunto, and embellishments.
