I’ve been sewing all week which is making me very happy. It is too hot to be out and about so I’d rather stay indoors at my machine until the temperatures drop. I am getting “Back to School” emails in my Inbox, and Sophie Quinn moved into her student apartment in Denver this week, so there’s an end in sight for this crazy summer weather. I bet many of you are thinking about the winter holidays, and planning some gift sewing. Longtime eQuilter customers know that when the temps drop, we stock our artisan chocolates again. (October)
Also in October, the Colorado issue of Quiltfolk magazine will be out, and my profile article will be in that issue. Yay! In the meantime we have started to carry this publication, with the current South California issue, and their new book of ‘Dogs’ which is just adorable.
Also this week I am delighted with the “Artist’s Desk” and “Mystic Library” collections, featuring artist supplies and vintage books – 2 of my favorite collectibles, besides fabric! *wink* To me, these kinds of novelty fabrics make the best gift quilts, garments, and home dec projects like curtains. We have many customers who use these types of prints to make camp shirts for the sassy dresser in their life. I think the Artist prints would make perfect ‘cafe curtains’ for a studio. As our Sewing/Maker Universe continues to expand, we love seeing the crazy/genius creations you all dream up with these unique and very collectible fabric designs! Send us photos of your completed projects!
sharing your love for fabric,
