My goodness, we’ve had a busy week! Yesterday we had two superstar quilters visiting the eQuilter classroom – Sherry Reynolds and Claudia Pfeil. We were so appreciative that Claudia gave us a quilt show before she flew back to Germany today. Both Sherry and Claudia have won many top awards, so having all that talent in one room was pretty mind-blowing!
Of course we gave them a tour, and Claudia was especially interested in the spirals and fractals of some of our exclusive digital line of prints. Here I am showing you a detail photo from her quilt “Fractal” (central image) with some of the fabrics that caught her eye.
Springtime is a time to observe spirals, as flowers, leaves and vines unfurl, following invisible Laws of Nature, in Fibonacci proportions that seem random and predictable at the same time. Fractal spirals are logarithmic, and we can see these in Nature…in Hurricanes and Galaxies, in Seashells and Succulents. Even when we pull the plug in the bathtub!
We’re having another big Spring snowstorm tonight, and this weekend we’ll have another famous quilter in the classroom. Jean Wells is doing a 3-day workshop here for Front Range Contemporary Quilters. We are excited to have Jean here in Colorado.
Sophie’s high school theater group finished their run of Les Mis Saturday, and she took her SAT test yesterday. We are starting to think about the end of her Junior year, college applications, and being Empty Nesters some day!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
