O.M.G.
I am so crazy about this group of fabrics, I just had to make a quilt design concept and share with you tonight. Lately I have felt like the market has been so oversaturated with plain flat childlike artwork, but this is the antidote. It reminds me of those richly indulgent Dutch Still Life Florals, that are fairly dripping with saturated color…set on a black background which makes them actually glow. Do you agree?
This is why I am so nuts about this tsunami of digital-printed brilliance that is coming out of the industry now. This is what really gets my gears turning and my brain crackling. And guess what? They look even better in person!
I appreciate that I can share my special kind of crazy with you (Yes I am a fabriholic and I am powerless…) but I love sharing with you and making you smile. We are in this together.
Now I can share some big news…I’ve been hinting at this for awhile…we have two huge names coming to teach in the eQuilter Classroom in 2020! Susan Carlson and Paula Nadelstern are going to be coming in the Spring, to share their special kind of creative genius with us. I am pretty sure you have heard of these 2 incredibly talented artists, but just in case, here are some interviews we have done with Susan and with Paula…over the years.
In the meantime, if you can’t wait until 2020, we have Cindy Lohbeck and Jacqueline de Jonge in the next few months.
We only have a few spots left in Cindy’s classes. If you signed up for one of her classes, you will be receiving a special party invitation from us soon. Watch your email!
Jacqueline’s class registration will open up this weekend (watch for the Saturday night newsletter) but the class is already half full with an anxious wait list. Check out the class dates below, and pencil in on your calendar if you might want to join us.
Starting in August Sophie will start her senior year of high school, so I am going to be traveling less so I can spend more time with her. This means I have more time to host teachers and students in our classroom. (which is also my studio) I hope you can come to one of these creative retreats, and we can share that special kind of fabriholic craziness together!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
