Today I picked a bowl full of vine-ripened tomatoes, and even more that had been blown off by the wind onto the ground. We still have not had our first snow here which is ….creepy. My mom’s nursing home just shut down again due to positive cases, which is so depressing. However I have 2 big art projects and deadlines to keep me busy. The wall is up in the studio so I hope to move in and get re-settled again soon. Once I am all set up in the new studio space, I will see what kind of classes we can host here in the future. Fingers crossed!
This last week was the International Summit for the Color Marketing Group, where we spent 2 days reviewing the trends and color palettes developed by members through regional collaborations over the last 6 months. If last year was about separation and isolation, this upcoming year will be about *Connecting*, and the colors that support that topic. I am grateful to be a part of the international color/trend forecasting organization, and to interact with designers in other industries, as we all try to make sense of what the future holds.
Our color palettes are always informed and inspired by these color trend forecasts, and although I can’t share the results of the CMG 2023 forecast (members only ) I can promise you that we will use this information to maintain a cutting edge on color trends here at eQuilter, as always…
Thanksgiving is in 12 days and if you are like me, you are still trying to get your brain wrapped around it being November already. We are working hard to keep all of our categories well stocked so you can find what you need before the Winter Sewing Season sets in. Yes we have seen supply chain issues but we have many resources so we just keep calling until we find what we know you will need. We have a team of Santa’s Elves here in the Buying department who take their job very seriously.
Just in case you missed the Wednesday newsletter…
