On Valentine’s Day, almost everyone wishes for someone to Love. Whether it is a sweetheart, a crush, or puppy love…the only thing better than receiving a Valentine, is giving one!
Sophie has been complaining for the last week about the PDAs (Public Displays of Affection) that clog the hallways of her high school on Valentine’s Day. What would we do without our kids to de-mystify all these abbreviations and acronyms? Silly me, I was still thinking a PDA was a Personal Digital Assistant. (Remember the Palm Pilots?)
As I travel the world to photograph quilt exhibits, it is obvious that more artists are becoming activists and putting their messages about peace, love, and the environment, in their quilts and textile art. Above is a central detail shot of a charming quilt from the Tokyo Quilt Festival, showing children from around the world sailing away together in a hot air balloon that looks like the Earth. Click through to my photo page to see the rest of the quilt.
The quilt detail is set in a frame of Heart and Valentine themed fabrics we have in stock now.
Thursday I am flying to Mexico City for the quilt festival, to host the Love Your Mother exhibit there. You may have seen that Quilts Inc also featured a Love Your Mother gallery on their website this week.
Consider this your Valentine, from me to you.
Wishing you Hearts and Flowers and Chocolate and LOVE on Valentine’s Day!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
