  Quilters are forever looking for dynamic designs, especially ones that are both simple and eye-catching. All 15 featured Picture Patchwork designs can be made with simple squares -- the most basic shape of all, but the author has added some additional touches (optional) with the nine-patch, half-squares, and sawtooth, plus a few appliqué flourishes. In creating these novelty quilts, Jo Ann took her inspiration from cross-stitch graphs using a pixelated approach, which follows charts for color and placement. These are ideal for using pre-cuts (charms and mini-charms) as well as stash fabrics, and nothing will keep quilters of all skill levels from tackling any of the designs. They can even sprinkle in some of their own creativity if desired. Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses these charted designs can take on a modern spin or be utterly traditional. Picture Patchwork will have you looking at the endless supply of cross-stitch grids through a quilter's eye and serves as a self-purchase or gift title for all levels of quilting enthusiasts.

  In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads – 'Unity and Oneness'.
  
  He uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses 'Unity' for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.

  Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
   
   
   
  Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
   
   
   
  To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.
