We are thinking of our quilter friends, and our Engineers Without Borders/NASA
friends in the Houston area this weekend, with the flooding that has
occurred over the last couple days. We hope you have managed to keep
yourselves safe, and your homes dry.
Yesterday I headed out to the Climate Strike with my Love Your Mother
banner, and was stopped by several people asking where I got my ‘flag’ –
so you never know you might be seeing this at climate marches in the
future. I also know of someone who has made Prayer Flags from our smaller Love Your Mother block panel and I just might have to do that for my front porch! You can see photos of the #loveyourmother quilt exhibit on my photo page.
It was very inspiring to be out with people of all ages –
from little kids in wagons to elders with canes – out peacefully
marching for climate change justice. This morning AOC came to Boulder,
and I got a ticket because Sophie was the sound tech for the event. So
these 2 events in the last 24 hours give me hope that the younger
generation is truly going to get involved with saving the planet. Greta
Thunberg from Sweden is an inspiration to so many.
We know that many of you are passionate about wild animals and wilderness.
This weekend I am going to 2 fundraiser events – Greenwood Wildlife
rescue & rehab that takes in orphaned and injured wildlife – and the
Wild Animal Sanctuary that rescues lions tigers bears and wolves that
have been kept in tiny cages and terrible conditions. Did you know there
are more Tigers
in private captivity than in the wild? This is for situations where
somebody buys a tiger or lion cub to keep chained up in their back yard,
and then realizes it is not such a great idea…and now these animals
live outdoors on acreage, running in the grass and digging in the dirt.
Blissful.
I am excited to have 2 quilts in Houston next month (Polar Bear in the “Endangered Species” exhibit, and my hero portrait of Kathy Price – Mission of Love
– in the “Better World” exhibit.) Even better yet, we are sponsoring 5
categories of quilts this year (!!!) – the “Animals” in IQA, and 4
special exhibits. I’ll be telling you more about these special exhibits
as we get closer to the event. Your support allows us to sponsor
exhibits, contests, and other quilt events around the US and the world.
Thank you for telling your friends about our charitable projects – we appreciate your support!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
