As I write to you
today, we are finishing up another Charity Sewing Day with a fantastic group of
ladies who not only show up to sew quilt tops, but they take them home to
finish, and bring them back the next month! We got so many quilts back today
that we are going to do another shipment to fire victims in California. If you
live in our area and wish to drop off a quilt for this next shipment, contact
Wendy in Customer Service on Monday so we can save space for your quilt!
Our old friend Mark Lipinski has just gone through a scary surgery episode, and
has come home from the hospital. We are sending him prayers and good wishes for
a strong recovery. My stepbrother has a similar issue, and is on dialysis
waiting for a 2nd kidney transplant. I admire the courage embodied in those who
deal with these challenges, just taking life one day at a time.
My Rocky Mountain Poison quilt has finally come home after traveling for 3
years in the ‘Water is Life’ exhibit, which started out at the United Nations
in Geneva. I know so many of you saw it in Houston and in the Mancuso shows,
and museum exhibits, but it is great to show it to friends in an intimate
setting and see how its message still has an impact.
This last week I have just been trying to catch up after the China trip, so I
am still trying to finish posting photos and updating the travel blog! Watch
for my Midweek Creative Nudge Wednesday morning, for a continuation of this
travel story.
Registration is open for Cindy Lohbeck’s Shibori, Ice-Dyeing and Ombre Dye
classes this summer. Lynn Koolish will be here teaching a CQC
class next month, and we have Jean Wells coming to do a FRCQ workshop here in
April. Our classroom is buzzing – join us for one of our CQC, FRCQ, or eQuilter
workshop events in 2019!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
