Despite the fact that the Denver Broncos are in the Super Bowl on Sunday, I am still making plans to be creative in the afternoon, then drive to see Mamma Mia in downtown Denver while the streets are empty. A friend's husband is the lighting director and since it is Super Bowl Sunday, I got excellent seats for the last night of the show. Sophie is my partner in Abba-ness, and it will be hard for us not to join the cast in singing our favorite tunes. Several years ago we went to a Mamma Mia SingAlong showing of the film here, and it was all women of course. At the end everyone got on stage and danced to the final party scene…some in Abba costumes. Ha!
Anyway – Go Broncos! – hopefully when we emerge from the theater there will be
a spontaneous victory celebration on the streets of Downtown Denver. If
not…we'll drink a cup of coffee to honor the Seattle Seahawks.
Superbowl Sunday is known for being one of the most productive days for
quilters who are not football fans. However I must admit, instead of the
Pregame Show, we'll be watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet…while doing hand-applique on our Hawaiian quilting projects.
It's a good time to shop online too! (*Bwa-ha-haaa!*)
I continue to post more photos from the Tokyo Quilt Festival, as I add the artists' names to the
images. I am posting photos of the quilts that I think are most unique, most
inspiring, and of course most GORGEOUS! I hope you enjoy the selection of
amazing quilts that I am sharing with you. If you know someone else who is
posting Tokyo Quilt images, please urge them to include the names of the
quilters in their postings. We hope to see more of these quilts in person here
in the US, but we want them to know how much we value the
efforts of all the individual artists. Thanks – pass it on!
I have signed a contract to lead a group on a Polar
Bear tour to Churchill Canada, Oct 14-19 this year. We are in the process
of putting the details on a webpage, but since space is very limited, please
contact Customer Service to be emailed right away when details are set. We've
had a lot of interest so please let us know if you just can't wait for the next
newsletter!
We also wanted to let you know that Mission of Love just returned from another successful Cleft Lip/Palate surgery trip to Guatemala. If you follow them on Facebook, I am sure you've seen the beautiful photos. Mission of Love is one of the main recipients of the eQuilter Charity program, and a year ago I joined the surgeons on this annual trip to Guatemala. If any of you are health professionals who would like to volunteer for this amazing trip, contact Kathy Price at Mission of Love!
