Our 100 donated comfort quilts from Colorado guilds have arrived in Western North Carolina, and our partners on the ground are so excited to gift these to those who lost everything after Hurricane Helene. They also send their thanks to those of you who have shipped directly to them. They are hoping to reach all of the families in Swannanoa who had devastating losses, sharing your comfort quilts by the holidays. This quilt drive is not over yet.<\/a> Thank you to the individuals and guilds who dropped off your donated comfort quilts this week!

I have uploaded Houston photos on my photo pages<\/a> – please enjoy!

In 2 weeks I’ll be headed to Italy to lead my Textile and Costume tour, which I’ve been researching and planning for 10 years. I’ll be sharing photos and design ideas in late December, to provide inspiration for the Winter sewing season.

Some of you with sharp eyes saw that I added Kyoto to my 2025 travel schedule. Yes a very exciting development – I’ve been invited to have a solo gallery at the Kyoto Quilt Festival Feb 28 – March 2. I have not been back to Japan since I attended the very last Tokyo Quilt Festival in Jan 2020<\/a> with Sophie Quinn, just as the pandemic was exploding. So I am thrilled to be making plans for this exhibit, but also to see friends in Japan who I have not seen for 5 years…and to photograph the quilts by Japanese makers at the event.

sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
