We have had one of those glorious Colorado Fall weeks, with brilliant yellow, orange and red foliage against intensely clear blue skies with mild temperatures. I hope you have been enjoying some of your own gorgeous Autumn weather as well. In couple weeks rain and wind will blow all the leaves from the trees, so the Trick-or-Treaters can shuffle through crunchy piles of leaves as they go door to door on Halloween. I know many of you are busy sewing last minute costumes for your kiddos.
This morning I woke up to an other-worldly golden glow in our bedroom. The sun had risen up in that clear blue sky, shining down on our Golden Locust, Ash, Linden and Maple trees in our back yard….and the warm glow suffused the room and awakened me to a dreamlike vision. But it was real! When you work with color every day, these ethereal moments of color magic take on a feeling of heightened senses, and you carry it throughout your day. We hope that as you work with our colorful fabrics, you have a similar experience.
Congratulations to all the Colorado quilters and textile artists featured in the new Colorado issue of Quiltfolk Magazine. Paul and I are so delighted to be included. You will find our profile on pages 100-105.
Are you going to Quilt Festival in Houston? eQuilter is sponsoring 3 exhibits, including the “Women’s Voices” quilts. I will be present in the exhibit on Thursday from 11 am to 1 pm to sign the catalog and talk about our experience at the Clinton Presidential Center last December, when they hosted an artist reception during the Women’s Voices conference. Hope to see you there.
sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
