Many thanks to all of you who sent messages of condolence. It means a lot to me, and I appreciate your kind words of comfort. Now that these years of caretaking are behind me, I am feeling a deep exhaustion this weekend. With the holiday week coming up, I am taking time to rest and dream of the future. I am having my art quilts professionally photographed this week, with an eye on spending more time making art in 2024. Many thanks to the New England Quilt Museum (Lowell, Massachusetts) for arranging to have my Uncompahgre Fritillary quilt photographed while on display in the Animalia exhibit!

This week I am so excited that we have our Multicolor Hand-Dye<\/a><\/strong> category restocked (And this 25-piece Fat Quarter collection<\/a><\/strong>).  I am also thrilled with the new Imperial Collection<\/a><\/strong> – a beautiful group of Asian prints with gold metallic. These are 2 product categories that have been difficult to stock the last several years, so if you collect these types of fabrics, don’t wait to place your order. We will restock if possible, but these days there is no guarantee they will be available again. We do our best!

If you are a Dragon fanatic (like me) I want to make sure that you don’t miss this Free Dragon Quilt Pattern<\/a>. (emailed to you on Nov 12) I am just gobsmacked by the artwork on this ‘Dragon Fyre<\/a>‘ panel, from Morris Creative Group. Fun Fact: this was created by the 2nd generation of an artist family – Dan Morris<\/a>‘ kids are now creating art and designs for Quilting Treasures. Watch that space!

I’d like to offer my zoom lectures to your quilt guild, for the winter months when maybe you are stuck at home but still wanting some inspiration. I can offer a few topics to match your group’s interest. Send us an email if you are interested, and I’ll be in touch. I enjoy meeting quilt groups through zoom, and I am scheduling through February now. I prefer a larger group – the bigger your group the more time I can give. You can also combine 2-3 smaller guilds for a presentation.

The 3 popular lecture topics are:

1. International Quilt Trends
2. Art and Activism
3. My Creative Life (My career as an artist\/designer.)

sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
