Did you catch our video tour of the Sapphire Blue and White Quilt installation from the Houston Quilt Festival? Just in time for the announcement of Pantone’s new Color of the Year a couple days ago-the 2020 Color is “Classic Blue”.
Our next video is up now – with a review of the “Altar Offerings” exhibit. These are beautiful memorial quilts made for the Day of the Dead, made by Jane Tenorio-Coscarelli and her students. You will see many familiar fabrics in this video, and we carry them in our Frida/Succulent category.
You can see these 2 new videos, 118 previous show/festival videos, and the upcoming 7 Houston videos on this page.
After visiting Mexico City several times for the Mexican Quilt Festival (and visiting Frida’s house and studio several times!) I appreciate the beautiful art and colors of the Dia de Muertos more than ever. I had lunch with a dear friend Thursday who has been suffering from brain cancer. Last night I got the call that she is gone. I am going to put together a small piece to celebrate her life, inspired by Janes’s altar quilts. I feel so fortunate that I had one last meeting with her, and we were able to share our love and friendship one last time before she left this earthly plane.
Donations are still trickling in for my Earthworks fundraiser – and soon my Rocky Mountain Poison quilt will go to live at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln NE. Everyone who contributes will be invited to a virtual tea, but the fundraiser is coming to an end soon.
Next week I have another very short trip to visit another friend who has been ill – this time in London. I got half price tickets because I am arriving on Election Day. My friend is warning me to stay away from Parliament when I arrive. I plan to go to the V&A on Saturday, if anyone there would like to join me.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
