I hate to tell you
this, but tonight is the start of Daylight Savings Time. Be sure to
“Spring Ahead” and turn your clock ahead one hour tonight when you go
to bed, unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii, or the rest of the world.
We are having a grand time in the classroom this weekend with MJ Kinman, where
students are making her beautiful new Elizabeth
Diamond quilt. To celebrate her workshop, we are launching a new line
of MJ’s Gemstone products: We are producing her Birthstone Fat Quarter Packets
in Hoffman 1895 Hand-Dyes and the results are going to be luscious! Our
first packet is the Diamond, and we’ll be adding a few each week until
we have all 12 Birthstone FQ packets available in Hand-Dyes, to make one giant
gorgeous quilt!
As you may have noticed, the world seems to gone crazy over the coronavirus.
Things like toilet paper and hand sanitizer are sold out, shelves at
supermarkets are empty, and now people are stocking up on things like beans and
rice. I am concerned for my mom who is in a nursing home, but we all have to
take this one week at a time. I have also noticed the quilters seem to be
stocking up on fabric as if they expect to be quarantined! My advice: don’t
forget to stock up on thread
and sewing
machine needles.
Sophie just received her official acceptance letter from CU Boulder: she will
be a Music Education major at our local university here in Boulder, which means
she can come home on weekends to do her laundry. Her two brothers went to CU,
and I also went there long ago, so she’ll be carrying on a family tradition.
Students come from all over the US and from around the world to attend our
beautiful university, and pay crazy out-of-state tuition…so we feel very
lucky to have CU right here in our home town.
Paula Nadelstern’s workshop registration is open and it is filling up fast. We did send out
emails to the wait list 24 hours ago, as promised. We recently received 2 new collections designed by Paula, so
we’ve been basking in the glow of her kaleidoscopes and counting the weeks
until she arrives.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
