We are so excited to have Lisa Walton coming here to Boulder, to kick off our eQuilter workshop program. She is a true international quilting celebrity (as you will see in her bio) and we’ve developed a friendship over the years because whenever I travel overseas to a show, there she is! She is witty and prolific – a true inspiration to her workshop attendees.
Lisa is an ongoing guest on Quilting Arts TV on PBS, and her recent ‘Fantastic Fusion’ segment has attracted much enthusiastic praise…hence my invitation for her to come teach this technique!
Lisa is being installed as the new president of SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) at their April conference in San Antonio, and she will be the first non-US (Australian) president of this international organization for quilt artists. Then she is flying to Colorado to teach for us! Yay!
I will be co-hosting this weekend event, and we’ll be celebrating the joy of creativity in
Lisa’s Fantastic Fusion class…an inventive process that frees you from ‘rules’ to let the inner artist come out to play. Read all about it…and Sign up today!
We are so sad to hear about the loss of our industry friend Tim Reed, who recently retired from EE Schenck. Our deepest condolences go out to Tim’s family and his co-workers. I have know Tim since his Daisy Kingdom days, and met him at my first Market in 1999. He will be missed.
Our Charity Sewing Day is next Saturday from 9 to 4. Please DO RSVP in advance, especially if you wish to be provided with a Bernina machine to sew on that day. (Thanks to Blakeman Sewing)
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
