Surprise!
There is a new quilting TV show coming early next year on PBS, featuring the work of Modern Quilters, and it is called “Fresh Quilting”!
And….this week I was on a trip to the TV studio as corporate sponsor and guest on the show, so you will see me in 2 segments with Heather Grant, early next year when “Fresh Quilting” airs on PBS and online.
We are sponsoring modern quilter Jacquie Gering on the show, and I enjoyed spending more time with Jacquie and learning more about her role as a ‘founding mother’ of the MQG.
eQuilter will also be a sponsor for QuiltCon in Savannah GA, and I will be hosting a cocktail party there on the evening of Friday Feb 24…if you are coming to QuiltCon, please plan to come to the party!
Today after we finished filming, I met my dear friend Kathy Price, the founder and director of Mission of Love. She is busy planning her next airlift to bring medical supplies and food to the indigenous people of Guatemala. She was telling me that the hospitals in Guatemala don’t even have simple things like gauze, for surgeries. Their next airlift will bring supplies for 40 hospitals in Guatemala.
This last airlift brought wheelchairs and walkers to children and adults, allowing many to walk for the first time. With the money many of you sent, in addition to the donation from eQuilter, she was able to buy many tons of rice, beans and corn for communities in deepest poverty. Kathy and I humbly thank you for your support.
Our newsletter tonight reflects a trend in our customers’ buying habits: You are buying more and more Nature-themed fabrics, especially those that are realistic (digital), representing wildlife and natural beauty. Amid the chaos of modern life (not to mention the election year) we hope that you find moments of peace working with these beautiful fabrics.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
