I am writing to you on my flight from Atlanta to Denver, flying back home from QuiltCon in Atlanta Georgia. Wow, so much energy and so many smiles and hugs! eQuilter is a Gold sponsor so we are so happy and proud that the event is such a success. However I struggled to get all my photos done because I ran into somebody I knew every couple minutes. However I got the job finished early this morning so I’ll be sharing photos and thoughts about the quilts, over the next few weeks. It’s good to be back in the Quilt Festival groove!
One of the highlights of the event was meet a Facebook friend from Nigeria – Uzoma Samuel Anyanwu – who rocketed to stardom at this show. I was there this morning when the Nigerian ambassador and her retinue visited him to see his artwork. Look for him on Facebook, and I expect you’ll be hearing about him in the future. He is a painter who started doing fabric collages, and one of his pieces was stitched and finished by volunteers from the Social Justice Sewing Academy, so it could hang in the show. Several of us are in the process of supporting his venture into the quilting world. I’ll be posting photos of his work soon.
It is always interesting to see how the creativity flows and mutates at each QuiltCon…expanding our concept of what it is to be a Modern Quilt. I’ll be telling you about the trends and techniques that I’ve seen at the show, in our newsletters. Stay tuned!
sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
