Friday was a busy day
here! Our friends Danny Amazonas and his wife Pat came by to visit our new
building. You may recall that I filmed a video
interview with Danny at the Tokyo
Quilt Festival in January 2016. Now his quilts are being exhibited in
Paducah and at the Texas Quilt Museum. Way to go Danny!
Last night I attended the opening reception for the “Evolutions”
juried challenge exhibit at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden Colorado.
We are a sponsor for this new art quilt exhibit, which will be up through
October 19. Congratulations to the 1st prize winner Kathy Suprenant: her prize
is a solo show next year!
This morning I drove down to Parker to hear Alex Anderson give a talk to our
state guild – the Colorado Quilting Council. What a surprise when they called
me up at the end of the meeting to give me a special “Outreach Award”
for my contributions to Colorado quilters and the industry. Many thanks to Mary
who nominated me, and everyone who kept the secret. I am honored, but also feel
so lucky to have found my way to the wonderful world of quilters 30 years ago.
Wherever quilters gather, there we will find kindred spirits with generous
hearts and nimble fingers.
On Tuesday I’ll be flying to Birmingham in England, for the fabulous Festival
of Quilts. This year we are sponsoring a lifetime achievement award, which will
be announced at the Thursday night dinner. I will also be at the SAQA dinner
Friday night. If you can’t make it, don’t worry. I’ll be taking photos of the
best quilts, and will share on my Facebook and photo pages.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
