UPDATES, FOR THE REALLY AVID READER (Cheri)

Did you wish that you could commune with the designer Ruby Ross Woods at Atlanta's Swan House?  Or learn more about other topics we touched on last year?

Here are links to some updates that I've added to some of last year's posts.

• A short documentary about the "Margaret Mitchell Effect" has been released by Netflix (addendum to the description of the Julia Roberts movie Gaslit).
  
  
• A Discovery+ show features renovations of historic homes in Summerville, South Carolina (addendum to the description of quilt shop People, Places & Quilts in that lovely town near Charleston).
  
  
• One of January's design magazines talked about Ruby Ross Woods and her exhibit at Swan House (note at end of the post).
  

 

• You can read more about Freeman Vines and his Hanging Tree Guitars (link to a magazine article at the end of the post).
  

 

• The techniques used by the quilt artist Leslie Riley - featured in my post about a museum exhibit in Virginia - were the focus of an article in Art Quilting Studio magazine  (additional note below the picture of the enslaved William Headley quilt).

 

• A podcast episode focused on love letters between Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson (addendum at the bottom of the post).
  
  
• A book and Tom Hanks film that features a road trip and time spent in 1870 San Antonio (addendum at the bottom of the post).
  

 

• PBS aired a documentary episode about the history of growing rice around Charleston, South Carolina (addendum at the bottom of the post).
