This weekend I am prepping for my trip to Quilt Canada in Ottawa. I’ll be at
the award ceremony Tuesday night, and I am giving my power point lecture
“International Quilt Trends” on Friday. I hope to see many of our
Canadian friends and customers this week!
I
just love photographing the unique Canadian-themed quilts at this show.
(Arctic wildlife, First Nation indigenous themes, etc.) The quilts about
wilderness and wildlife tend to be exceptionally beautiful. We have sponsored
the Modern Quilt category for many years, and I really appreciate seeing the
development of Modern Quilts and Art Quilts with that special Canadian twist!
Sophie is home from her trip to Europe, where her high school orchestra was
touring and performing. They spent most of their time in Northern Italy and
Croatia, and she actually visited several places I’ve never been! Her favorite
city was Cremona, where the Stradivarius violins were created over 300 years
ago. As a music performance major (before design school) I was a fan of
Jacqueline du Pre. I just realized that YoYo Ma plays the same Strad cello that
she played. I’ve been listening to that same instrument over many decades,
played by 2 brilliant musicians.
Paul and I are just finishing up our work here at the office today, and a
minivan full of 3 French quilters and 3 husbands just showed up, so we gave
them the Saturday tour! So much fun to share our family business with the
visitors who stop by. One husband had a hat from Utah, and we found the fabric
on the shelf that matched
his hat. They were also excited to recognize Antelope
Canyon on one of our new exclusive digital prints. It is so fun to
share our love of fabric, art and color with visitors from other
countries…even if we don’t speak the same language…we share the language of
Quilting.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
