Tonight we are waiting for the big blizzard to hit. They are calling it the Bomb Cyclone. The airport has already cancelled flights tomorrow, and the schools are going to be closed. It is a good day to quilt! Maybe a little hot chocolate too….and a nice long game of Scrabble.
Many thanks to those of you who wrote kind words about my mom. She is out of the hospital and now in a rehab nursing facility close to our house. She is still very confused about what happened last week (in the ER and hospital) but she seems to be out of the woods for now.
Thursday I am supposed to fly to Atlanta for a private event at the Carter Center, and then I’m invited to a smaller event in Plains GA. You may recall that 5 years ago I was invited to meet the Carters because of our charity program. Then I made a quilt portrait of Rosalynn Carter that is now traveling in the “HerStory” exhibit. Last time I was invited to this event, I had to cancel because of the hurricane! So now I am hoping I won’t miss my flight Thursday because of the blizzard. I have just finished a quilt of the White House so the timing is perfect.
Most people think of Habitat for Humanity when they think of the Carters, but that is not their organization. The Carter Center is a nonpartisan organization committed to human rights, alleviation of human suffering, working on health issues and supporting democracy. I particularly like their programs to stop violence against women in developing countries, through education.
We are celebrating eQuilter’s 20th Anniversary this week, and are thrilled to be settled into our new headquarters. Please take a look at our upcoming class dates and perhaps you can join us in our beautiful classroom this year!
The image above is a collage from fabrics we have in stock now, including the 3 “SNOWDAY” words which are made from our new Scrabble panel and other alphabet panels. Now I think I’ll go make that cup of hot chocolate.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
