No matter what is happening in our lives, in our homes, with family and friends, and in the world… we have our quilting and sewing to make a space for peace and quiet contemplation.
Being creative is a way to tap into something deeper, and whether you call that ‘spiritual’ or ‘primal’, it allows us to tap into that part of ourselves that allows us to rediscover Joy, strengthen our soul, and heal our bodies.
February has always been the hardest month for me, because it seems like winter will never end. Of course, that means March, and Spring are just around the corner…but it doesn’t always feel that way! So I try to grab some sunshine dog walks when I can, but it is also my quiet time when I come up with some of my best ideas for the coming year.
How about you?
This coming week we are busy getting ready for our first event – and it is going to be a blast! Our BERNINA Sewapalooza with Blakeman Sewing has filled the 50 seats, and we are going to have 3 days of sewing on those gorgeous machines. We will also have lots of coffee, tea and snacks. You know, caffeine and chocolate are a quilter’s best friend sometimes.
Then the next day on Sunday afternoon we are having a fundraiser concert for Rocky Ridge Music Camp, which is the rustic music retreat on Longs Peak that Sophie, Sam and I have all attended. My cello teacher was one of the founders of ongoing summer events there. Sam and his teacher are playing some Cuban sax tunes, and we’ll have fiddle and clarinet folk music as well.
This is an invite-only event to raise money for the music camp. If any of you locals are interested in attending, please contact me in the next few days. Not sure if our rescued baby grand piano will get used in this event, but it looks great in our 2000 sq ft classroom/event space!
I hope you are enjoying our new collection of exclusive eQuilter Digital Prints – they are selling fast and we are tickled pink! You will see 2 designs with the colorful old cars from Cuba – photos from my trips to Havana. Enjoy!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
