This last week one of the icons of the industry passed on – Saul Kaufman of Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I attended the service in Los Angeles and found that even though I never met him (he retired about the time I moved from the garment industry to the quilt industry), I knew him well through the company he built, and the next generation that is running the company now.
Our family and eQuilter staff send our deepest sympathies to the Kaufman family, but we also know that they truly celebrate the legacy he has left behind in this multi-generational company. We wish you peace Saul.
My next trip is not until December 26th, so now I can turn my attention to the next event – OMG Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks?! – and Christmas events starting in a few weeks. I am in serious catchup mode, or as I say around here, ketchup and mustard mode, so I can whip my house into shape for the holidays.
The kids and I have been talking about making this holiday season as simple as possible. I must admit we do love doing some sort of holiday decorating in the house (with our collection of artsy and sentimental ornaments collected from all over the world) – but we are all talking about just one or two special gifts and not accumulating more "stuff". Perhaps you and yours have arrived at a similar conclusion.
We are having a heckuva windstorm here tonight, as I work on a slide show from Quilt Festival. Watch for it on my photo page or my blog…you'll see it pop up on Sunday.
I got the good news that our trip to Ireland is filling up fast, so if you've been mulling over the possibility of dancing an Irish Jig with me next June, please do sign up and ask for the payment plan! We'd love to have you on our Happy Irish Tour Bus and the FIRST EVER Irish Quilt Festival! (Be sure to click on "View the trip itinerary" on this page, for all the FABULOUS details, and the affordable price!) You can see my last tour (to Bali) on my photo page.
