Friday something woke me up early at dawn. I opened my eyes and my room was filled with a pink light. Was I dreaming? No, it was the bright morning sun rising on a clear Colorado day, hitting the red maple tree behind our bedroom window, and reflecting a gold-suffused pink hue into the room. Friday was also “National Color Day” so it was an appropriate start to a day when we celebrate COLOR in our lives. I hope you are having a *Colorful* weekend!
Today would have been my first day at Quilt Market, but the trade show has been cancelled. Quilt Festival is still happening this coming week, but I will not be attending. I will be there in spirit, because we are a major sponsor.
The $5000 eQuilter Master Award for Contemporary Art has been given to Kestrel Michaud for her amazing art quilt “Leap of Faith”. We are also sponsoring 2 other Special Exhibits – “Access Delayed: African-American Suffragists’ Courageous Influence on the 19th Amendment”, and “Together in Unity”.
For those of you attending the event, I would appreciate if you would send photos of Kestrel with her quilt under our banner, and also photos of our sponsor logo sign with the other 2 special exhibits. I need to stay home to keep our 30 employees, and our family safe. Thank you for understanding.
This year has gone by fast in one way (because we are so busy) and very slow in other ways (no travel) but I just realized with a shock that Christmas is 2 months away! While the world is worrying about supply chain issues, we have kept our warehouse stocked and most of you have already purchased fabrics for holiday projects. If not, now would be the time to snag these seasonal designs!
…sharing your love of fabric,
Luana and Paul
